Columbia Area Long Range Transportation Plan
(COATS): Highway Element
As the metropolitan planning organization for the Columbia, South
Carolina urbanized area, the Central Midlands Council of Governments
(MPO) is responsible for the development of a multi-modal long range
transportation plan (LRTP).
This plan attempts to ensure that proposed improvements to the transportation
system enhance the movement of goods and people in an efficient and
economic manner. The plan must also be fiscally constrained, project
specific, meet the principles of environmental justice, include the
public throughout the planning process, and meet air quality standards
established for the Central Midlands area. This LRTP has a 25-year planning
horizon and looks out to the year 2025.
The Central Midlands Council of Governments prepared this plan. Preparation
of this document was financed in part through grants from the U.S. Department
of Transportation, Federal Transit Administration and Federal Highway
Administration through the South Carolina Department of Transportation,
and local membership contributions.
