In May 2006, the Charlotte City Council adopted the 25-year Transportation Action Plan (TAP).  The TAP carefully considers the challenges and opportunities facing Charlotte over the next 25 years and recommends goals, objectives, policies and the transportation improvements necessary to prepare the city to meet its future transportation needs and to better accommodate our growth.   

The TAP calls for $3.57B in transportation funding to be spent on street, pedestrian and bicycle improvements over the next 25-years as well as increased street maintenance. 

The TAP consists of the TAP Policy Document and the TAP Technical Document (see links below). 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Transportation Action Plan Policy Document
Due to the file size of the TAP's appendices, we've divided the TAP into two parts for easier down-load. The maps may take longer to down-load.    

1) TAP Policy Document - Goals, policies, objectives and Programs & Improvements funding list
2) TAP Appendices - Supplemental maps  

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Transportation Action Plan Technical Document
Due to the file size of the TAP Technical document's appendices, we've divided it into three parts for easier down-load. The maps and tables may take longer to down-load.    

1) TAP Technical Document - Information detailing the City's goals, objectives and policies, as well as existing conditions and financial analysis
2) TAP Tech Doc Appendix A - Supplemental maps and tables
3) TAP Tech Doc Appendix B - Supplemental maps and tables

A key component of the TAP are the Urban Street Design Guidelines (USDG), which describe how Charlotte's streets will be evaluated, planned for and designed. Click here for more information about the USDG.
