Regional Transportation Plan Outreach Starts Early June

Draft Plan expected to be released on June 17

The Cape Cod Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) is preparing the 2020 update to the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP). The RTP is the long-range plan that sets the vision for the region’s transportation system through 2040 and beyond.

A series of public meetings were held during the first week of June 2019, which will build on public input gathered earlier this year through listening sessions, an online survey, and other outreach events. The meetings also included discussion of the recently-released Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) Cape Cod Canal Transportation Study draft report. The draft MassDOT report is available at https://www.mass.gov/cape-cod-canal-transportation-study.

A public meeting of the Cape Cod MPO is scheduled for June 17, 2019, at 1:00 p.m. to consider the release of a draft 2020 RTP for a 21-day public comment period. The Cape Cod MPO is expected to consider endorsement of the 2020 RTP its meeting scheduled for July 15, 2019, at 1:00 p.m.
