Completed in November 2008, the SPATS Long Range Transportation Plan is a multi-modal and fiscally constrained document that outlines transportation priorities and proposed projects to the year 2035. Project priorities are based upon growth patterns, population and employment projections, and a transportation model that forecasts traffic and transportation needs to the year 2035. The total projects costs within the plan cannot exceed what SPATS is expected to accumulate by the year 2035, and inclusion in the plan is a prerequisite before funding can be committed within the SPATS Transportation Improvement Program (TIP).
