Project Overview
A Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) provides a plan to address the future transportation needs of the county. In accordance with federal requirements and to reflect the ever-changing transportation needs and future development within a region, the Long Range Transportation Plan is typically updated every five years.
The Polk Transportation Planning Organization (TPO) is currently updating its Long Range Transportation Plan: Envision 2050. The Long Range Transportation Plan was last updated in 2020. Envision 2050 is a plan for the future of Polk County’s transportation system and sets the framework for transportation planning and investments for the next 25 years. This long-range look at future investments will allow Polk County to work toward having a safer and efficient transportation system. The LRTP facilitates a countywide, cooperative planning process that serves as the basis for spending county, regional state, and federal transportation funds for improvements to roads, bridges, public transit, freight routes, trails and bicycle and pedestrian networks.
Envision 2050 Facebook Live Stream Public Forum
The Polk Transportation Planning Organization invites you to join a live Facebook virtual public forum to discuss the upcoming draft of the Long Range Transportation Plan - Envision 2050. This plan will guide transportation priorities and investments for the coming decades.
What to expect:
- Learn about the proposed vision and goals for transportation in Polk County.
- Hear from experts and planners as they discuss key aspects of the plan.
Submit your questions about transportation in Polk County in advance or during the event. A live Q&A segment will take place near the end of the stream to address inquiries. Questions can be submitted on the event page or by directly emailing Envision2050@polk-county.net.
Your feedback is important for creating a more connected and accessible future of transportation. Join the conversation and contribute to the development of a transportation system that meets the evolving needs of your community.

We Need Your Input!
A Long Range Transportation Plan is shaped by public input, and Envision 2050 is no different. In order to shape a transportation system that suits our community, we need to hear from you: what is working, what isn’t, and what are your aspirations for the future of the region. We are seeking your input to assist the Envision 2050 team in developing goals, objectives, and policies, and to understand community preferences and priorities for the future. We want Polk County’s transportation system to meet the needs of all users.
So, share your ideas! We have numerous ways to get involved. Select a tab at the top of the page to take your to our interactive map, survey (coming soon), or comment wall!
