| Statewide Transportation Plan |
North Carolina's new Long-Range Statewide Multimodal Transportation Plan (hereafter referred to as the Statewide Transportation Plan) stakes out a bold, ambitious course of action for NCDOT. It also reflects a greatly enhanced focus on providing and supporting a truly modern, well-maintained, and multimodal transportation system. The updated Statewide Transportation Plan is an important first step in charting a new direction for NCDOT and the State. It not only recommends a new, 25-year investment strategy that embraces all modes, it also introduces a new planning framework that is inclusive, technically sound, and reflects financial realities.
The new Statewide Transportation Plan is the product of an intensive, three-year planning process that included technical analysis, public outreach, and strategic planning. The centerpiece of the Statewide Transportation Plan is the Recommended Investment Scenario - a strategy that proposes targeted levels of funding within major transportation categories. This strategy will serve as a policy guideline to support future investment decision-making. A few important caveats should be noted about the Recommended Investment Scenario:
- It is not a remedy to fix all of the State's transportation challenges; it identifies a funding gap that leaves nearly one-third of all needs unmet if no additional revenues are obtained.
- It is not rigid; it maintains NCDOT's short-term commitments and recognizes differing regional needs within the context of a statewide vision.
- Implementation of the Scenario will faces hurdles; full Statewide Transportation Plan execution will require changes to existing State statutes and programming structures.
