RIDGWAY — The North Central Pennsylvania Regional Planning and Development Commission is updating the region’s Long-Range Transportation Plan.

The LRTP is updated every five years and is developed collaboratively with regional planning members, stakeholders, agencies and the public. It encompasses all modes of surface transportation to include roadways, bridges, public transportation, non-motorized transportation, freight, goods movement, and human services transportation. The plan’s intent is to serve as a blueprint for the region’s decision-making on planning for transportation infrastructure and will include a long-term spending plan for addressing those needs over the next 25 years.

As one of the early steps of the plan’s development, the Commission is inviting and encouraging input through the State Transportation Commission’s online public survey. The survey, part of the 2023 12-Year Program (TYP) Update Public Comment Period, is available from March 1, through April 14, 2021 at https://survey.talkpatransportation.com/#/Survey, or one may request a paper copy of the survey by calling 717-783-2262 between 7 a.m. and 4:30 pm Monday – Friday.
