Connect 2045, Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP)
Draft Documents for Public Review
Connect 2045 is the long-range transportation plan (LRTP) developed by the River to Sea TPO to reflect and meet the future transportation needs of our changing community. This plan lays the groundwork for a sustainable transportation system that preserves existing transportation infrastructure, enhances Florida’s economic competitiveness and improves travel choices to ensure mobility.
This Draft plan was developed with input from people, agencies and organizations representing all parts of our community to reflect collective values and a broad range of needs. The plan strives to provide residents, visitors and businesses the best transportation solutions to efficiently and safely move people and goods.
The DRAFT Chapters which make up Connect 2045 are provided below for review your review and comment. We invite you to send any comments or questions to Colleen Nicoulin, Connect 2045 Project Manager, at CNicoulin@r2ctpo.org or 386.226.0422 ext. 20417.

Connect 2045 Environmental Justice Virtual Workshop
We are at a very important point in the Connect 2045 plan development and the River to Sea TPO is seeking additional input regarding potential transportation needs, issues, and/or concerns of underserved populations. To do this, we hosted a workshop that included a description of the planning process, efforts to consider potential adverse impacts to minority and low-income populations and an overview of the draft plan.
The following documents correspond with the workshop:

COVID-19 Announcement
The River to Sea TPO is strongly committed to serving the public in the work that we do; and in response to the COVID-19 outbreak, we are putting measures in place to protect the health and safety of those we work with and serve while continuing to pursue our activities under these unusual circumstances.
Under the directives issued by the state and national governments, and with consideration for the health of the TPO staff and everyone we serve, River to Sea TPO Board Chair Rob Gilliland has officially directed the TPO staff to begin implementing the following activities to limit face-to-face meetings and events as follows:
-
Cancelling all non-essential activities (helmet fittings, community presentations, etc.);
- Initiating remote work options;
- Limiting access to our physical offices to ensure adherence to social distancing advisories; and
- Holding all of our TPO Board and committee meetings remotely as permitted via the Governor’s Executive Orders:
Executive Order 20-69
Executive Order 20-114
Executive Order 20-150
Executive Order 20-179
Executive Order 20-193
The above directives are effective immediately and will be reassessed and updated as needed.
These measures will impact our typical community outreach and engagement activities. Please know that while general access to the TPO’s physical office is closed and our community presentations are suspended, the staff of the River to Sea TPO remains available online and by email and phone during normal business hours. Staff contact information is available here: https://www.r2ctpo.org/about/staff/. If you have a meeting scheduled with a TPO staff member, expect a phone call or email with specific details for that meeting.
The safety, health and well-being of our staff, committee and board members, stakeholders, and public citizens is our highest priority. The River to Sea TPO will continue to monitor the actions of our national, state and local partners and reassess as more information is made available. We appreciate your understanding as we navigate this unprecedented situation.
We encourage everyone to use social distancing and consider what steps you can take to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.
