EPR managed the 2045 update for the region’s long range transportation plan for the Central Virginia Planning District (CVPDC). Building on the 2035 LRTP (managed by Bill Wuensch of EPR, while with Renaissance Planning Group) and the 2040 plan update prepared by EPR, the region’s vision, values, and goals are being brought forward to inform a MAP-21 ready project evaluation framework.

The earlier plan (2035) included an extensive scenario planning exercise and continued a conversation with the region regarding the interaction between land use planning and transportation. The 2040 plan built on the 2035 and created a prioritization tool that was responsive to the ongoing HB-2 criteria planning. In this most recent plan (2045 Update), EPR increased the focus on public participation, advanced the modeling effort, and evolved the plan to be more graphical and digestible to a broader audience. This plan also incorporated into the planning process recent economic development planning as well as the rural long range transportation plan to have one cohesive regional plan.
