Your Voice Matters: Review and Comment on the Two Draft Plans
The Richland County Regional Planning Commission (RCRPC) is pleased to announce the release of the TWO Public Review Notices for their developed (1) Draft 2025-2050 Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP), and (2) the Draft 2026-2029 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), which is also called the short-term transportation plan, for the Richland County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) Area.
We invite you to explore and provide feedback on these two plans.
The 2025-2050 LRTP outlines a comprehensive approach to addressing our region’s transportation needs, presenting a list of projects that will be executed in stages throughout the MPO areas in the short, mid and long terms. This long-range plan sets the foundation for sustainable growth and enhanced connectivity for our community over the next 25 years.
Meanwhile, the 2026-2029 TIP serves as the MPO’s short-term planning document, detailing a focused list of projects set to take place over the next four years. These projects are directly derived from the long-range planning goals laid out in the LRTP through the communities’ inputs.
