The Charlotte Regional Transportation Planning Organization (CRTPO) has opened a 30-day public comment period for the 2055 Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) Draft Fiscally Constrained Project List.

Official release of the draft project list was approved during the June 18 CRTPO Board meeting. The public comment period is June 19-July 19, 2025. The project list and opportunities of public comment can be viewed at 2055mtp.org.

The 2055 MTP is a fiscally constrained plan that spans a 30-year horizon.

The Federal Highway Administration requires the CRTPO to update its MTP every four years to define the plans, programs, and policies to provide mobility choices throughout the planning area. The MTP identifies recommendations for surface transportation including streets and roads; capital transit corridors; and bicycle and pedestrian facilities.

Projects approved for inclusion in the 2055 MTP must demonstrate that they can be implemented using committed or anticipated revenues. The project list is an important component of the Plan, as it outlines the transportation projects proposed to be funded over the life of the MTP. The active transportation component of the MTP identifies corridors that may benefit from future bicycle/pedestrian projects.

This process does not prioritize or commit funding to the active transportation corridors. Approval of the 2055 MTP is scheduled for March 2026.
