The Fayette-Raleigh Metropolitan Planning Organization (FRM) has prepared a draft of the 2050 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP). The draft will be made available for public review for 45 days from Thursday, September 3rd, to Sunday, October 18th and can be accessed on the FRM website at frmpo.org or at the FRM office located at 885 Broad Street Suite 100, Summersville, WV 26652. We ask that you call FRM at (304) 872-4970 in advance if you would like to review the Draft LRTP Update at the FRM office.

As the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for Fayette and Raleigh Counties, FRM is required by federal law to produce a LRTP and update it every five years. The LRTP identifies recommended improvements to the transportation system through a planning horizon of at least 20 years. The LRTP is a multi-modal plan, considering needs related to streets and highways, public transportation, bikeways and walkways, rail, and aviation.

We invite you to submit comments on the draft LRTP anytime between September 3rd and October 18th, 2026. You may submit comments or ask questions about this process by contacting:

A virtual open house will be available on the FRM website (www.frmpo.org) between September 3rd and October 18th for those who cannot attend in person.
