2050 Metropolitan Transportation Plan Under Development

The participation plan for our 2050 Metropolitan Transportation Plan provides a roadmap to a comprehensive, inclusive process for public participation in creating MetroPlan Orlando’s 20\50 Plan. It contains targeted objectives, various strategies and tools, and performance measures to ensure effectiveness.

2050 MTP Public Participation Plan – DRAFT FOR COMMENT

Welcome to the 2050 Metropolitan Transportation Plan page, which is under development. During the next several months, this page will evolve to reflect work on the year 2050 transportation vision for Central Florida. Check back often, as the plan takes shape and heads toward approval by the MetroPlan Orlando Board in late 2025.

WHAT IS AN MTP?

The Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP or 2050 Plan) establishes the vision of Central Florida’s entire transportation system for Orange, Osceola and Seminole Counties. This plan for the year 2050 will identify current and future transportation needs. Projects must be included in the plan to receive federal and state funding. The plan is updated every five years to reflect the changing dynamics of the region.

The 2050 Plan will examine the current transportation system, establish goals and objectives, and gather public input. A thorough technical analysis, including performance measures, will be used to evaluate needs and look at various future trends that might affect the system. Through coordination with local government and transportation agency partners, the 2050 MTP will produce a cost feasible plan, a list of projects that the region can afford.
