Public Invited to Final Round of Input for Regional Transportation Plan

Jun 17, 2025 02:05PM ● By WNC Business
The French Broad River Metropolitan Planning Organization (FBRMPO) is inviting the public to provide input on the draft of its metropolitan transportation plan, Elevate 2050, this July. 
 
Elevate 2050 is a federally required plan that outlines transportation priorities for the region over the next 25 years. The plan will help guide decisions about transportation projects across all modes (highway, public transit, bike/ped, rail, and aviation) in Buncombe, Haywood, Henderson, and Madison counties. 
 
The July meetings will focus on two key components: 
 
  • The Draft Elevate 2050 Plan, developed from three previous rounds of public engagement in 2024 and early 2025. 
  • The Fiscally Constrained Project List, which includes priority transportation projects for which funding may become available over the next 25 years. 
 
The three public meetings for the fourth phase of the plan include: 
 
  • Monday, July 7th from 4-8PM at the Dr. Wesley Grant Sr. Southside Center (285 Livingston St., Asheville, NC 28801) 
  • Tuesday, July 8th from 4-8PM at the Mills River Town Hall (124 Town Center Drive, Mills River, NC 28759) 
  • Wednesday, July 9th from 4-8PM at Waynesville Town Hall (16 S Main St, Waynesville, NC 28786)
