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 402,842 according to the 2009-2011 ACS, these four counties account for 4.2 percent of North Carolina’s population. The region’s total area also covers nearly five percent of the state.
