Beyond 77 Task Force

Introduction and Mission

In 2016, a focus group composed of representatives of the Charlotte Regional Transportation Planning Organization (CRTPO) Board and Technical Coordinating Committee (TCC) was established to develop a scope of work, goals, and targets for a comprehensive and multimodal corridor study along Interstate 77.  Their task was completed in 2017 and a Request for Proposals (RFP) was issued in early 2018.  The consultant procurement and contracting process was completed in the summer of 2019, and the Beyond 77 Corridor Study began in September of the same year.

The Beyond 77 study phase was conducted in a largely virtual format due to the pandemic throughout 2020 and 2021.  The study concluded in the fall of 2021 and was adopted by the CRTPO Board in January 2022.  As part of CRTPO’s responsibility to our member jurisdictions, stakeholders, and the public, staff is organizing a Beyond 77 task force to guide the implementation phase of this initiative. CRTPO staff wishes to continue the momentum and success of the study and with your input and collaboration to help us advance the next phase of Beyond 77 – the Beyond 77 Implementation.
