Who creates it?

PennDOT creates a statewide LRTP covering a 25-year period. Metropolitan and rural planning organizations (MPOs and RPOs) create regional LRTPs covering a 20-year period.

When is it updated?

The statewide and regional LRTPs are updated every four or five years.

How does it impact the planning process?

The LRTP sets the policy, vision, and goals used to guide programming and project selection. The programs in the 12-Year Program must align with the policies, visions, and goals in the Statewide LRTP. The programs in the Regional Transportation Improvement Programs must align with the policies, visions, and goals in the regional LRTP.

What laws, regulations, and guidance are involved?

• Title 23 Code of Federal Regulations 450
• Title 49 Code of Federal Regulation 625
• FAST Act
• Pennsylvania Act 89
• PennDOT Guidance
