Welcome
In July 2000, Senate Bill 1195 established Rural Transportation Planning Organizations in North Carolina. The purpose of these organizations is to work cooperatively with NCDOT to plan rural transportation systems and to advise the department on rural transportation policy.
The Upper Coastal Plain region consists of Edgecombe, Johnston, Nash, and Wilson Counties. With a combined population of approximately 379,994, these four counties account for nearly five percent of North Carolina’s population. The region’s total area also covers nearly five percent of the state.
Look Around
The purpose of this site is to provide as much transportation information to the local area as possible. This site contains information regarding transportation planning and projects within the Upper Coastal Plain RPO area.
If you have a question or would like to know more about a particular project or area of transportation, use the “Contact Us” link at the top of the page and send us an Email.
