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.

JOURNEY TO 2050 WEBINAR SERIES
Leading up to the adoption of the 2050 MTP, MetroPlan Orlando hosted a series of three webinars to engage the community in discussions about important topics addressed by the draft plan.
The first, held July 24, explored projected trends across the region and examined how emerging technologies may reshape the transportation system. The second webinar in this series, held on August 21, dug deeper into how transportation intersects with health, housing, and the environment. The final offering on September 11, explored multimodal needs and how projects in the 2050 MTP are identified and incorporated into the plan.
As each webinar passes we have compiled written responses for all the questions asked and sharing them here.

These projects represent a compilation of transportation needs identified throughout Orange, Osceola, and Seminole Counties. They were developed through a comprehensive planning process with input and collaboration from local transportation partners. The projects displayed in this dashboard are grouped into Needs Lists to make it easier to locate similar types of projects and to better understand their funding eligibility.
