LRTP Data Repository

The long-range transportation plan (LRTP) is the vision for maintaining and enhancing the regional multimodal transportation system for the next 25 years. The plan identifies the region’s critical needs and challenges, providing a framework to guide decision making for future transportation investments. The LRTP serves as the region’s guiding framework to guide decision-making for future transportation investments. The LRTP serves as the region’s guiding document to visualize the expected growth and future transportation system and service needs. It presents a balanced approach of meeting the region’s goals and objectives by relying on local insight and data to predict the transportation needs and identify solutions for enhanced efficiency and functionality. By understanding future fiscal constraints, the LRTP presents an analytical approach to improve multimodal connectivity with the enhancement of highway, transit and bicycle/pedestrian facilities in the region, while ensuring environmental compliance and transportation safety.

The Hagerstown / Eastern Panhandle Metropolitan Planning Organization (HEPMPO) is a designated Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for the Hagerstown MD-WV-PA urbanized area. The area includes Washington County, Maryland and Berkeley and Jefferson Counties, West Virginia. Under an agreement with HEPMPO and the Franklin County MPO, the small portion of Franklin County, Pennsylvania that is part of the metropolitan area was not included in this LRTP update.

The total study area is almost 1,000 square miles, with a 2016 population of approximately 320,000 persons. Washington County represents approximately 458 square miles, Berkeley County represents about 321 square miles, and Jefferson County represents about 210 square miles.

Historically, minority and low‐income populations in United States have borne a disproportionately high share of the burdens of transportation system investments. Moreover, these populations receive a low share of the benefits. Environmental Justice (EJ) is the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race, color, national origin, or income, to ensure nondiscrimination in transportation laws, regulations, and investments, as well as to address disparities in their development, implementation, and enforcement.
