About the 2025 LRTP

The 2025 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) will guide the Brevard Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) in implementing its transportation project priorities during the next 20 years. The 2025 LRTP, adopted by the Brevard MPO Board at its November 10, 2005 regular meeting, meets all applicable federal and state requirements. The Plan represents a major update to the MPO's 2020 Long Range Transportation Plan Refinement, adopted in December 2000.

The purpose of the 2025 LRTP is to identify the cost feasible transportation projects and strategies that will be needed during the next 20 years to reduce and mitigate traffic congestion resulting from new growth and development as well as address the County's mobility and travel needs. Completion of an LRTP Update every five years is a federal and state requirement for the MPO to receive funding for transportation projects. Updating the LRTP also acknowledges changes and refinements to 20 year growth forecasts, ongoing improvements in travel demand forecasting (traffic modeling), updated revenue forecasts, and other factors influencing the development and outcome of the Plan and its recommendations.

Based on the extensive community engagement process and technical analysis conducted for the 2025 LRTP, an overall guiding LRTP goal and supporting objectives were developed.

MPO Goal

"The Brevard MPO will provide for a comprehensive and coordinated transportation system that enables the safe, efficient and economical movement of people and goods, promotes multimodal mobility, and enhances the quality of the natural and built environments in Brevard County ."

With this goal in mind, the MPO has also identified specific objectives for the 2025 LRTP. These specific objectives are not meant to be all-inclusive regarding every facet of the 2025 LRTP goal, but instead represent strategic methods for making the goal a reality over time.

Objective 1: Optimize the efficiency of the existing transportation system.

Objective 2: Prioritize multimodal and operational improvements that will help ensure safe, efficient mobility for people of all ages and abilities, as well as goods and freight movements.

Objective 3: Encourage maximum coordination of the transportation and land use planning processes.

Objective 4: Encourage the implementation of multimodal transportation study recommendations completed subsequent to the 2025 LRTP that support or do not conflict with the 2025 LRTP.

With completion of its 2025 LRTP, the MPO now must shift its focus towards next steps and implementation activities to carry the Plan forward.
