This federally mandated plan covers at least a 20-year horizon projecting future transportation needs, costs and revenues available, and must be updated every five years. The LRTP focuses on enhancing mobility, safety and infrastructure maintenance for all modes and users including bikes, pedestrians, transit, freight and vehicles. It sets priorities for transportation infrastructure projects to support future growth and community transportation needs throughout Gainesville and Alachua County.
The 2050 LRTP was completed in late 2025 and the next LRTP (2055) is required to be completed in 2030 to reflect evolving needs and trends.
