As part of its Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) process, the NFRMPO established the Regionally Significant Corridors (RSCs), the Regional Transit Corridors (RTCs), and Regional Active Transportation Corridors (RATCs). These corridors are updated with each new RTP. The purpose of these corridors is to show the significant multimodal potential of these corridors and the consensus of planning partners and the public on where investment is needed.
Regionally Significant Corridors include roadway corridors that meet the following criteria:
- All interstates, US and State highways
- Eligible to receive federal aid
- Crosses more than one jurisdiction or connects to an activity center
- Will be complete by 2050
- Serves regional traffic
Regional Active Transportation Corridors were initially established as part of the 2013 Regional Bike Plan and have been updated with the 2017 Non-Motorized Plan and the 2021 Active Transportation Plan.
- For more information about RATCs, visit our Active Transportation Page.
Regional Transit Corridors have been updated with the 2050 Regional Transportation Plan to include:
- Existing regional services
- Corridors identified in the LinkNoCo project
- Local and regional priority corridors
