Thomasville Multimodal Transportation Plan
The City of Thomasville is creating a Multimodal Transportation Plan (MMTP) that will guide future projects and policies to make it safer and easier for everyone to get around town. The MMTP will advance the City’s vision for a multimodal transportation system that connects neighborhoods, schools, parks, and community destinations. This plan will pair data analysis with community input to identify strategies and actions that make our streets safer, strengthen connections, and expand travel options for everyone in Thomasville.

About the MMTP Planning Process
Why is the City creating the MMTP now?
The purpose of the MMTP is to provide comprehensive direction to the City on how transportation projects, policies, initiatives, and best practices should be implemented moving forward. The MMTP will build on Thomasville’s strong foundation of citywide planning initiatives and complement the long-term goals and action items that are outlined in the Thomasville: Blueprint 2028 (aka the Comp Plan). Our previous planning efforts set the stage for the MMTP to deliver actionable strategies that make Thomasville’s streets safer and more connected.
What will the MMTP do?
This MMTP combines two important objectives into one planning process:
- Creating a Multimodal Transportation Plan for walking, bicycling, driving, and personal transportation vehicles (like golf carts) throughout the city.
- Establishing a Safe Streets for All vision that focuses on reducing crashes and eliminating fatalities and serious injuries on our roadways.
The planning process for the MMTP will help:
- Identify and prioritize safety improvements along streets with the highest crash risks.
- Develop strategies to expand sidewalks, bicycle routes, and personal transportation vehicle networks.
- Create policies that support Complete Streets and safer roadway design.
- Address how transportation risks and access to safe travel affect different communities in Thomasville.
How is the MMTP funded?
In 2023, Thomasville received a $175,000 U.S. Department of Transportation RAISE grant to support multimodal planning, safety analysis, and public engagement.
