A Long Range Plan (LRP) is developed to set the goals and objectives for the future of transportation in the NATS boundary.  The LRP is updated every 4 years, though the process of collecting data for the update is nearly ongoing.

Due to the size of the Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP), the plan has been divided into sections.

The Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is developed to document road and transit projects that will be occuring in the near future within the NATS boundary.  The current TIP is valid for fiscal years 2011-2014. 

To amend the TIP, you must submit an application found on the TIP Application page.
