In September 2020, we asked people in the region their opinions about our transportation system. The Voices of the Region survey is a part of the update to Visualize 2045. This public opinion survey will help planners and decisionmakers think about what kinds of improvement people in the region want for the transportation system in the future. In this third instalment of our series on the survey, we’re exploring what people in the region have to say about the TPB’s aspirational initiatives.

The Voices of the Region survey is a part of the update to Visualize 2045. This public opinion survey will help planners and decisionmakers think about what kinds of improvement people in the region want for the transportation system in the future. In this second part of our series on the Voices of the Region, let’s dive into their responses about climate change.

The National Capital Region Transportation Planning Board (TPB) launched a new website for Visualize 2045, the region’s long-range transportation plan: visualize2045.org.

At its April meeting the TPB approved projects for funding through the CRRSAA for Enhanced Mobility and approved 11 projects for technical assistance through the Transportation Land-use Connections program. The TPB also held a work session that sparked an in-depth discussion about the conformity projects for Visualize 2045.

The first public comment period for the Visualize 2045 update is now underway. Now that the agencies have submitted their projects, programs, and policies for inclusion in the constrained element of the plan, the public may comment on these inputs. The comment period for the conformity projects kicked off on April 2 and will close on May 3.

The update for the region’s long-range transportation plan, Visualize 2045 is reaching an important milestone. At its December meeting, the TPB will take up the Technical Inputs Solicitation and officially kick-off the plan’s development.

The TPB launched a region-wide public opinion survey at the end of September. The survey will provide input for the update of Visualize 2045, the region’s long-range transportation plan.
