Project: Wilmington Urban Area MPO Comprehensive Safety Action Plan Year: Anticipated October 2026

The Wilmington Urban Area MPO Comprehensive Safety Action Plan is a data-driven, federally supported strategy aimed at eliminating serious injuries and fatalities on the transportation network. It identifies safety issues across all travel modes, including pedestrian, bicycle, transit, and motor vehicle, through crash data analysis, community engagement, and risk assessments. The plan outlines targeted countermeasures and a prioritized list of projects to address high-risk locations and behaviors. Grounded in the Safe System Approach, it emphasizes system design and shared responsibility to minimize the consequences of human error. This proactive framework supports the development of safer, more equitable, and resilient infrastructure.

Comprehensive Transportation Plan (CTP)

Project: Comprehensive Transportation Plan (CTP) Year: 2016

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.
