CTP Planning Area The Fuquay-Varina 2040 Comprehensive Transportation Plan (CTP) defines the strategy for creating a town-wide transportation system that accommodates the current mobility needs of its residents and looks to the future to anticipate where needs may arise. This chapter examines the current conditions, travel and development trends, and existing plans and visions for the future of the planning area to create a regional transportation strategy that can meet both present and future needs. As part of its focus on long-term solutions, the CTP provides guidance for an area that encompasses more than the town’s current municipal boundaries. The CTP Planning Area includes the Fuquay-Varina Town Limits, the Town’s Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ), and the Town’s Urban Service Area (USA).
Building Blocks The 2040 CTP is an opportunity to revisit the groundwork that has already been laid for the future of transportation and growth in Fuquay-Varina. The 2040 CTP acts as a direct update to the previous 2035 CTP. To build upon the last CTP, various plans from Fuquay-Varina were compiled and reviewed. While not a comprehensive list, all of the plans summarized in the table below were collected because they are relevant to the 2040 CTP . These plans are the building blocks of transportation and land use decision making and are important considerations when identifying investments over the coming years. The following table gives a brief overview of these plans.
