The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) plans to launch a public comment period for its draft 2045 Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) and Freight Movement Plan (FMP). 

The plans are available for review through Oct. 19. The LRTP sets an overall strategic direction for Pennsylvania's transportation system for 20 years and the FMP reviews current and future trends in freight transportation to improve multimodal freight movement for five years, according to a news release.

The LRTP and FMP represent a multimodal approach to improve mobility, safety, fairness, resilience and sustainability for moving people and goods throughout the commonwealth, PennDOT officials said in a news release.
