The Charlotte Regional Transportation Planning Organization (CRTPO) opened a 30-day public comment period, beginning Monday, June 3, 2024, for the update to its 2055 Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP). The CRTPO is the federally designated metropolitan planning organization (MPO) for the Charlotte urban area, which includes Iredell, Mecklenburg, and the urban portion of Union County. Residents are encouraged to provide feedback about the region’s long-range transportation needs and issues by accessing the 2055 MTP website, 2055mtp.org, by completing a survey, adding comments on the interactive map of the region, or submitting a comment form. The public comment period will be open until Wednesday, July 3, 2024.

The CRTPO is participating in several community events allowing residents to learn more about the development and importance of CRTPO’s 2055 MTP. View the events here; we will continue to update this list as more events are added. Come see us at an event to hear more about the transportation planning process and share your thoughts on the mobility needs of our growing communities. 

Throughout the 2055 MTP update process, several resources will be available, geared toward engaging residents in the process, helping to educate stakeholders about transportation planning efforts in our region and providing opportunities for the community to voice their opinions. Visit the 2055 MTP website and follow CRTPO on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/crtpo) and X (formerly Twitter) (https://x.com/CLTRegionalTPO).
