BACKGROUND INFORMATION

 

Previous Commission action/date:  N/A

 

Background:  The Metropolitan Planning Organization Department is requesting that the Commission approve the attached solicitation for professional services.  The Eastern Shore Metropolitan Planning Organization (ESMPO) is responsible for carrying out the metropolitan transportation planning process for the Cities of Fairhope, Daphne, Spanish Fort, the Town of Loxley, and portions of Baldwin County.  This responsibility includes preparing and presenting necessary documents, plans, data and resolutions to the ESMPO Policy Board so informed decisions can be made on transportation planning matters.  One of the required plans is a Long Range (25 year) Transportation Plan (LRTP).  Federal regulations require the plan to be updated every five (5) years in order to receive federal transportation funds.  The last LRTP was updated in 2015 and was applicable through 2040.  The new plan will be adopted in 2020 and will be applicable through 2045.

 

The Policy Board has authorized MPO staff to solicit proposals for assistance with developing the 2045 Long Range Transportation Plan.
