The Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) is a 25-year plan which works to address the future transportation needs of the Omaha-Council Bluffs metro area. This is accomplished by analyzing demographic forecasts and the current conditions of all modes of transportation including highways, roads, transit, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, aviation, and passenger rail.

The 2050 LRTP is a comprehensive plan projecting the transportation needs for the Omaha-Council Bluffs metro area for the next 25 years. The 2025 update to this plan will take a comprehensive approach to addressing transportation in our area and incorporate elements from the Heartland 2050 Study as well as the studies MAPA has completed over the past five to ten years. The plans, projections, and proposed solutions will aim to increase the quality of life for area residents.

The LRTP is updated every five years. In order to be eligible for federal funding, projects must be listed in the LRTP.
