Frequently Asked Questions

A comprehensive document that guides transportation development for a region over a long period, typically 20-30 years. It outlines how a region will address its transportation needs, encompassing all modes of travel, and ensuring transportation investments support economic development, transportation goals, and sustainability. Envision 2050 is Lake County’s next Long Range Transportation Plan.

By state law, the County is required to have a 20 year long range transportation plan. In 2014 the County Board adopted the 2040 Transportation Plan, much has changed since it’s adoption. Envision 2050 will help us plan for a vision of transportation in Lake County that is responsive to the needs of today yet flexible enough to adapt to challenges over the next two decades and beyond.

While the outcomes of the plan will be determined through data analysis and stakeholder feedback, when completed the plan will identify transportation priorities, a list of projects and implementation strategies.

There are lots of ways to help shape the plan! Sign up to receive project updates, visit the project team at an upcoming public event, take our survey, or submit a comment. You can also follow Lake County Division of Transportation on social media for updates.

Once final, Envision 2050 will guide transportation investments and policy development allowing decision-makers to connect our people and communities to each other, the region and the world.
