The Region 9 LRTP (Long Range Transportation Plan) serves a variety of purposes for the Muscatine County and Rural Scott County planning area. It forecasts future travel demand and freight needs. It also analyzes the current transportation system's ability to meet these demands and identifies what improvements will be needed to address excess demand. As projects are identified, they are then directed through the short-range planning and programming process to ultimate implementation or construction. The plan is updated every five years with the next update recently adopted in January 2021. Information regarding the current plan update process can be found below.
