Other Regional
Transportation Plan Activities
WILMAPCO is currently working to update our long range
plan. The plan, called the
Regional Transportation Plan 2030 (RTP 2030) provides
a guide for all the transportation plans
scheduled in New Castle County, Delaware and
Cecil County Maryland through the year 2030. It
contains specific Goals, Objectives and
Strategies to ensure that we maintain a high
quality of life in our region.
We will be working with state, county and local
agencies to promote better integration between
transportation and land use.
See the WILMAPCO RTP 2025
adopted in March 2003.

On November 13th 2006 WILMAPCO held an "Our Town" public
workshop. The purpose of the event was to unveil
the draft Long-Range Regional Transportation Plan 2030
and to educate the public about alternative
transportation finance strategies. Speakers
included Kevin Soucie, named 2003 "Innovator of the
Year". Soucie is a consultant on transportation
policy and government affairs. He detailed
public-private partnerships, and their need, given the
current financial transportation funding crisis faced by
our region. Additional speakers included Jim
Hatter, an innovative finance specialist for the United
States Department of Transportation Federal Highway
Administration and Shirley Ybarra, former Secretary of
the Virginia Department of Transportation. The
event concluded with a question and answer panel which
included all of the speakers. A CD containing all
of the speaker's presentations is available by request
or they can be viewed by clicking the links below.
