City of Mebane Comprehensive Transportation Plan (CTP) Steering - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

City of Mebane Comprehensive Transportation Plan (CTP) Steering Committee Kick ‐ off Meeting October 12, 2016

What is a Comprehensive Transportation Plan (CTP)? • Set of maps and accompanying report that is adopted by area planning partners • Identifies desired transportation system needed to accommodate 20 – 30 years of growth; cohesive with future land ‐ use plans • Multi ‐ modal consideration (vehicle, transit, pedestrian, bicycle, rail, airport, ports, etc.) • Potential improvements are not fiscally constrained

Benefits of a CTP • Creates a planning consensus and unified vision among community members, local planning partners, and NCDOT • Can be used as a tool to prioritize projects for funding • Can be used as a tool for enforcing developer transportation improvements or cost ‐ sharing of improvements
