Regionwide Plans

The WMPO Regional ITS Plan provides a strategic framework for deploying and integrating technology-based transportation solutions across the region. The plan assesses the current infrastructure, identifies opportunities for improvement, and establishes a regional architecture that aligns with state and federal standards. Strategies include improving traffic signal coordination, incident management, traveler information, transit technology, and data sharing among agencies. By advancing these efforts, the ITS Plan enhances efficiency, safety, and real-time responsiveness while supporting the WMPO’s goals of improving mobility, reducing congestion, and strengthening regional collaboration.

The Comprehensive Transportation Plan (CTP) is North Carolina’s multi-modal transportation plan. The CTP represents a community’s consensus on the future transportation system (including the existing system and improvements) needed to support anticipated growth and development over a 25-30 year timeframe. When a CTP is adopted by NCDOT, it represents the state’s concurrence with the identified transportation needs and proposed recommendations.
