Open Call for Projects

  FutureLV: The Regional Plan is among the first comprehensive plans in the nation that merges the land use, economic, environmental, housing, preservation and farming policies with the transportation planning and investment policies.  FutureLV: The Regional Plan will include the Metropolitan Transportation Plan of Lehigh Valley Transportation Study (LVTS) in one single regional plan. With $4.3 billion in transportation funding, it enables the Lehigh Valley to direct investment where it can have the greatest impact. FutureLV covers both Lehigh and Northampton counties, creating a forward-thinking strategy that leads the region into the future, while addressing the needs of today.  

The plan is being updated in the coming months, with the help of not only municipal, community, for-profit and non-profit organization leaders, but neighbors, families and residents from across this region of more than 700,000 people. Everyone’s voice will be needed to shape our best possible future. 

In 2019, the LVPC released FutureLV: The Regional Plan. It was the region’s fifth comprehensive plan and in 2023, the Long-Range Transportation Plan portion of FutureLV was updated.
