Part 1: About Connected 2050 LRTP

The LRTP is a federally mandated document that guides transportation decision-making and investments in the St. Louis region over the next 26 years. It is updated every four years and includes policies, system data, and a list of projects for all modes of transportation including roadways, public transportation, freight, bicycle, pedestrian, and paratransit. East-West Gateway is seeking your input on this important plan starting May 8 through June 7, 2023. The survey will close on June 7, 2023 at 11:59 pm. Input will be used to finalize the Connected 2050 Long-Range Transportation Plan, which will then be used to make transportation investment decisions. You can learn more about the plan and how you can leave your input by visiting EWG’s website (www.ewgateway.org/transportation-planning/connected-2050/). If you have questions, contact LRP staff by phone at (314) 421-4220 or (618) 274-2750 or by email at lrp@ewgateway.org.
