About Tea's ATP

Tea's Area Transportation Plan (TATP) will serve as a set of recommendations and guidelines for the future development of transportation infrastructure such as roads, bike lanes, and walking paths in the community. The plan will assess current conditions and create projections to figure out where we are and where we should go.

The TATP will build upon and support the vision being developed in Tea's Comprehensive Plan Update.

This Plan is a collaborative effort between the City of Tea, Lincoln County, South Dakota Department of Transportation (SDDOT), Sioux Falls Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), surrounding communities, the public, and study stakeholders.
