Share Your Feedback

Comments inform how the region can best meet roadway, transit, and mobility needs through operations, state of good repair, and system investments.

The Visualize 2050 Plan highlights the region’s planned investments through the year 2050 to address transportation issues and achieve regional goals. The plan includes transportation and infrastructure programs and projects that will help people who live in DC, suburban Maryland, and Northern Virginia enjoy safe, affordable, and reliable travel options.

The FY 2026-2029 TIP is a four-year blueprint of the transportation projects in the plan that will receive funding from federal, state, local, and other sources. Find out more by attending the November 13 TIP Forum (information below). 

The Air Quality Conformity Analysis Report, available on the Visualize 2050 website's Plan Resources page, assesses how regionally significant highway and transit projects and future land use changes in the region meet regional air quality standards.
