Future Needs, Revenues, and Priorities
The Future Needs, Revenues, and Priorities phase of the Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) synthesizes data from previous study phases. It compares projected transportation revenue scenarios against multimodal infrastructure needs for both urban and rural West Virginia over the coming decades.
Multimodal Needs Assessment
The 2050 LRTP Multimodal Needs Assessment identifies instrumental capital, maintenance, and operating investment needs. Addressing these needs is vital for achieving the state’s goals for system efficiency, reliability, durability, and safety.

Financial Plan and Revenue Forecasts
The 2050 LRTP Financial Plan reviews current and future funding trends. It includes a baseline revenue forecast through 2050 and evaluates alternative revenue sources to ensure WVDOT can maintain a safe and reliable transportation network.
Gap Assessment
The Gap Assessment serves as a critical comparison between the Multimodal Needs Assessment and the Financial Plan. This analysis helps WVDOT understand the distance between required funding and available resources, allowing for the development of strategies to mitigate these gaps.
