Metropolitan Transportation Plan

The transportation planning process begins with the regional metropolitan transportation plan (MTP). The plan includes the region’s transportation needs, traveler responses, and public sector cost constraints. The plan includes fiscally constrained highway and transit projects that are expected to be funded in the next 25 years. The plan also includes additional needs for the region that are beyond the financial constraints. Projects which increase capacity must be in the fiscally constrained portion of the MTP. The plan is updated at least once every three years.
