The plan at a glance

What Is the 2050 Metropolitan Transportation Plan?

The Metropolitan Transportation Plan, or MTP, is CTMPO’s long-range transportation framework for the Enid metropolitan area. It looks ahead to 2050 and helps regional partners make coordinated, data-informed transportation decisions.

What the plan does

The draft plan helps guide future transportation priorities and investment decisions across the region. It considers all travel modes, including:

  • Roadways, intersections, and traffic operations
  • Street, bridge, drainage, and other infrastructure preservation
  • Safety and emergency-response needs
  • Public transportation and mobility services
  • Sidewalks, trails, bicycle facilities, crossings, and ADA accessibility
  • Freight, rail, and regional connectivity
What the plan does not do

The MTP is not a construction contract or a guarantee that every identified improvement will be funded or built. Individual projects must still move through additional planning, engineering, environmental review, public involvement, agency coordination, and funding steps.

How public input is used

Public comments are considered alongside transportation data, documented conditions, project needs, available funding, technical analysis, and the plan’s goals and policies. Input can help CTMPO understand local experiences and priorities related to safety, mobility, accessibility, transit, walking, bicycling, freight, and other transportation needs.

Draft plan focus areas

What the Draft Plan Identifies

The draft 2050 MTP identifies transportation needs and long-range priorities intended to support a safer, better-connected, more reliable, and more accessible transportation system.

Safety

Continue data-driven evaluation of crash trends, intersections, roadway conditions, crossings, and the needs of all people using the transportation system.

Reliable Infrastructure

Maintain and reinvest in streets, bridges, drainage, traffic-control systems, sidewalks, trails, and other existing transportation assets.

Mobility and Connections

Improve transportation choices and connections among neighborhoods, schools, parks, employment centers, commercial areas, public services, and regional destinations.

Regional and Freight Access

Support dependable regional travel, freight movement, rail coordination, and access to major employers, educational institutions, and other key destinations.

The draft plan is a transportation plan. It is intended to guide transportation planning and future investment decisions; it is not an economic-development or commerce plan.

Share Your Transportation Safety Priorities

Community input helps CTMPO better understand locations and transportation conditions residents believe need attention.
