Horizon 2030: The Metropolitan Transportation Plan for the Louisville (KY-IN) Metropolitan Planning Area

The Metropolitan Transportation Plan, Horizon 2030, is the planning document that reflects all surface transportation investments through the year 2030 in the Louisville (KY-IN) Metropolitan Planning Area (MPA).  Each transportation project that is regionally significant and/or utilizes federal transportation funds must be identified in the Metropolitan Transportation Plan, providing a vision of how our transportation network will function and appear in the future.

The Plan provides the 20-year vision in order to determine how this will affect the MPA and the communities therein.  The Plan is based on comprehensive land use and other plans from the jurisdictions within the MPA to ensure a realistic picture of how the area is expected to change, develop, and/or remain the same over time.  The planning process, by using information and data from land use plans, forecasts what our communities and the MPA will be like in terms of population, jobs, housing, commuting patterns, financing, and general land use in the future.  This process is based on data; socioeconomic projections and air quality modeling are important pieces of the plan development process, as are anticipated funding sources.  Projected revenues and projected project costs are based on the concept of Year of Expenditure, which means adjusting financial estimates to account for anticipated changes that may occur over time.  Long-range planning allows the opportunity to be proactive with issues.
