This insightful webinar will explore projected trends in economic growth, population, and development across the region and examine how emerging technologies may reshape our region’s transportation system, environment, and housing landscape.

During the webinar, we will discuss the critical connections between transportation, housing, the environment, public health, and the economy, and look at potential funding challenges and risks that may impact future planning and investments. After the presentation, you will have the opportunity to engage with our panelists and ask questions.

The second webinar in this series, coming up on August 21, will dig deeper into how transportation intersects with health, housing, and the environment. The final offering, scheduled for September 11, will compare different transportation system investment scenarios for the 2050 MTP.

How does the MTP fit in?

The factors we will discuss in all these webinars are crucial to our work in developing the 2050 MTP for Orange, Osceola, and Seminole counties, which establishes the long-range vision for transportation in Central Florida. This plan is updated every five years to reflect the changing dynamics of the region and identify current and future transportation needs. The 2050 Plan is currently going through this process. We are examining the existing transportation system, establishing goals and objectives, and gathering public input.

Your ideas are a big part of the Journey to 2050. We have a variety of public outreach activities between now and December, when the 2050 Plan will go before the MetroPlan Orlando Board for approval. You can engage with us in many ways between now and then.

Please mark your calendar for the MTP public meeting on Monday, September 29. There, we will present our draft vision and will offer information stations for each section of the 2050 Plan —  including public transit, active transportation, and safety — where we can answer your questions and gather your feedback.
