Greater Egypt Long Range Transportation Plan

Overview

Successful rural transportation planning improves the way people and goods move throughout the region and ensures that the quality of life and economy in Greater Egypt is preserved and improved for future generations.

The Greater Egypt Long Range Transportation Plan will serve as a tool to help our communities secure state and federal funding while also guiding local leaders to determine where and how to invest the limited resources over a long time. The Greater Egypt Long Range Transportation Plan will be unique, as it will be the first Rural Long Range Transportation Plan in the State of Illinois and will set the precedent for rural transportation planning and coordination.
