What is the Regional Transportation Plan ?
The 2050 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) is a 25-year vision for the Birmingham Metropolitan Planning Area (MPA), which includes all of Jefferson and Shelby counties and a portion of Blount and St. Clair counties (see map of the planning area in the link above). The RTP charts a strategy for maintaining and improving the transportation network – roads, bicycle, pedestrian, and transit. It is drafted using insight gained from public input and consultation with local jurisdictions and businesses, and presents strategies for environmental sustainability, economic vitality, enhanced mobility, and increased system performance.
The RTP guides investment of federal funding in the MPA’s multimodal transportation system over the next 25 years. All planned transportation projects and programs in the MPA are in the plan. No transportation project can receive federal funding unless it is in the RTP.
As administrator of the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), the Regional Planning Commission of Greater Birmingham (RPCGB) is required to prepare a transportation plan every four years. The plan must be fiscally constrained, meaning that projects can only be implemented if there are available revenue sources.
