RFATS held two virtual public meetings to review the process for updating the Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) for the RFATS Study Area and accepted input from stakeholders on transportation needs. The LRTP is the central transportation planning document that covers a 20-25 year period outlining the needs, preferences and priorities for the RFATS Area. The communities that comprise RFATS include the cities of Tega Cay and Rock Hill, the Town of Fort Mill, the Catawba Indian Nation, the eastern urbanized portion of York County (Lake Wylie Area), and the panhandle of Lancaster County.
Purpose of Long Range Transportation (LRTP) Update – As a federally mandated Metropolitan Planning Organization, RFATS is required to periodically update the LRTP to reflect and properly address all facets of transportation planning needs in the RFATS Area.
Purpose of Meeting – To gather input and information from all interested parties and stakeholders in identifying those needs, priorities and transportation initiatives you believe would be beneficial for RFATS to incorporate into the 2050 LRTP update process.
Please be advised that this notice of public participation and opportunity for public review / comments will satisfy the MPO Public Participation Plan and FTA’s Program of Project Requirements for the Urbanized Area Formula Program (Section 5307).
Meeting Format – The two meetings included a brief presentation on the LRTP update process and staff presented area maps for review and discussion. These meetings were conducted utilizing the Zoom Webinar App on Tuesday, October 13, 2020 from 1:30 PM to 3:30 PM and Thursday, October 15, 2020 from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM.
