This CTP study is a long range plan, which identifies major transportation improvement needs and develops long term solutions for the next 25 to 30 years. It is a joint effort among the Town of Mount Olive, the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT), and the Eastern Carolina Rural Planning Organization (ECRPO). The CTP Study is in the very early stages of initial data collection.\r\n\r\nThe CTP study involves both government officials and the public in an effort to determine the area’s future transportation needs based on the best information available including, but not limited to, population, economic conditions, traffic trends and patterns of land development in and around the town. The study will also include alternative modes of transportation. While addressing current and future travel needs, a recommendation for a solution that provides for the safe, efficient, cost-effective and environmentally sensitive use of the transportation system will be made.
