The Pinellas County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) is conducting an update of the Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) to the year 2035. The most recent LRTP update was adopted in December of 2004 and had a horizon year of 2025. This 2035 LRTP update is anticipated to be approved by the MPO in October 2009. The LRTP is the focal point of the MPO’s planning and programming activities and represents the 20-year vision for Pinellas County’s transportation system. The LRTP considers all principal modes of transportation as an integrated system including highways, public transportation, bikeways and pedestrian facilities.

The preparation and implementation of the Plan is coordinated with other long-range transportation plans in the West Central Florida Region under the guidance of the Chairs Coordinating Committee (CCC), which is comprised of representatives from the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) District 1 and 7, the Regional Planning Councils, Citrus County and each of the MPOs in Pinellas, Hillsborough, Pasco, Hernando, Manatee, Sarasota and Polk Counties. The plan will also be coordinated with local government comprehensive plans, the FDOT Strategic Intermodal System 2035 Cost Feasible Plan, the Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority 2008 Transit Development Plan and the Tampa Bay Area Regional Transportation Authority Master Plan, which will be completed in 2009.
