CCMPO's 2025 MTP was ammended in January 2010!

In order to keep that plan in effect while we continue working on our new MTP, we are proposing several amendments to bring the 2025 document into compliance with new federal regulations.

The Public Hearing to consider the 2025 MTP amendments took place on Wednesday, January 20, 2010 at 7:00 PM at the CCMPO offices at 110 West Canal Street in Winooski. Amendments to the plan consisted of four items:

1. Acknowledging a new "planning factor" from SAFETEA-LU: Increase the ability of the transportation system to support homeland security and to safeguard the personal security of all motorized and non-motorized users. This will be included with the other seven factors identified in the MTP introductory chapter, section 1.6.
2. Replacement of chapter four, Financial Analysis, with this revised MTP Financial Plan. The updated text offers funding levels and costs in constant, as well as year-of-expenditure, dollars.
3. Replacement of 2025 MTP sections 7.1.2 through 7.1.5 with this revised text. This section updates and summarizes the MTP costs based on the revisions to chapter 4. The project table 7-5 has had all costs updated to 2009. These are pages 110 - 113 in the current MTP.
4. Addition of a new appendix to the MTP to address the environmental mitigation and consultation requirements in the new federal regulations. To view this new section, click here.

What is the Metropolitan Transportation Plan?

Metropolitan Planning Organizations are required by Federal law to develop a long range transportation plan (or MTP) at least every five years. This document must include the strategies, actions and projects that will lead to "an integrated multimodal transportation system to facilitate the safe and efficient movement of people and goods…" Federal funds cannot be used for projects and services unless they are consistent with an adopted long range plan. The MTP must also be financially constrained by the reasonably expected level of transportation funding.

The CCMPO adopted its last long range transportation plan for Chittenden County in 2005, a document that looked out to 2025. This plan, referred to as the 2025 MTP, identifies the major transportation projects, programs and policies needed over the planning period, and establishes the vision and goals that will guide public decisions affecting transportation facilities and services in the County.
