Southern Alleghenies RPO's Long-Range Transportation Plan delineates how available and projected transportation funds will be spent over a 20-year period.
On the county and local levels, the Long-Range Plan:
- Outlines the “vision” for future transportation with a series of goals and objectives,
- Describes the transportation projects in the Plan,
- Outlines a financial plan describing the proposed source of funding
- Establishes a time frame for implementation,
- Establishes tests to determine that reasonable expectations for proposed projects can be met
- Describes how the plan will be updated and identifies new initiatives, and
- Incorporates comments, concerns, and the vision of the general public.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETINGS
FY 2012-2032 Southern Alleghenies Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP)
The Southern Alleghenies Planning & Development Commission (SAP&DC) serves as the Rural Planning Organization (RPO) for rural transportation planning and programming for the rural counties of Bedford, Fulton, Huntingdon, and Somerset.
The SAP&DC, in coordination with the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) and the four rural counties, has begun the process of updating the region’s Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP). This plan is financially constrained and is a springboard for identifying and recommending projects for inclusion in the state’s 12 Year Transportation Program and the Statewide Transportation funds will be spent over a 20-year period. The Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is derived from the Long Range Plan and is a listing of federally funded projects to be completed during the first four-year period of the plan.
SAP&DC, in cooperation with the rural County Planning Commissions, will hold meetings to gather public input on this plan and the future direction of this project.
