What is a Comprehensive Transportation Plan?
A Comprehensive Transportation Plan, or CTP, serves as a roadmap for how a community would like to see its transportation network develop to serve current and future needs. Walton County’s CTP focuses on all modes of transportation, including roadways and bridges, transit, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, and freight.

As Walton County has grown, it is now part of the Atlanta Regional Commission’s (ARC) 20-county Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO).
