Metropolitan Transportation Plan
The purpose of the Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) is to encourage and promote a safe and efficient transportation system to serve future year transportation demands. Results of the MTP process are intended to serve the overall mobility needs of the area, while also being cost effective and consistent with state and local goals and objectives.
This study will develop a list of transportation projects to meet anticipated future demand needs of the Rapid City area through the year 2045. Major components of the study process include:
Review and Analysis of the existing Major Street Plans for all of the MPO member agencies, as appropriate.
Complete year 2045 traffic forecasts for the Rapid City Planning Area to identify future transportation needs by developing and validating the travel demand forecast model.
Develop goals, strategies, and performance measures for the year 2045 to identify planning and prioritize elements within the MTP and fiscally constrain the future needs.
