National Capital Region Transportation Plan

The transportation planning process is continuous. Ongoing work at the TPB and by partner transportation agencies throughout the region contributes to the next update of the National Capital Region Transportation Plan. The plan provides a snapshot in time of the region's transportation network, transportation and related issues that present challenges to livability today or possibly in the future, priority projects and services within a reasonable financial outlook, and expected transportation system future performance.
