TOPEKA PEDESTRIAN PLAN - 2024 UPDATE

The Metropolitan Topeka Planning Organization, in coordination with the City of Topeka,
is currently working to update the City’s 2016 Pedestrian Plan. 

The Carbon Reduction Program (CRP) aims to cut carbon emissions from transportation. It supports State carbon reduction plans and funds projects to lower on-road emissions. Small Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) are running a
region-wide competition for eligible projects. Selected projects must go through the Metropolitan Topeka Planning Organization (MTPO) and be added to the Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) for the November 2024 State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP), or earlier if possible.

The Futures 2045 update is a continuation of the Futures 2040 Metropolitan Transportation Plan and will expand on the evolution of the plan’s goals and objectives, with a focus on active transportation projects and preservation of existing systems. The goals of the plan update include maintaining existing infrastructure, improve mobility and access, increase safety for all modes of transportation, enhance quality of life, and promote economic development.
