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.

Visualize 2050 National Capital Region Transportation Plan development began in 2022.

Visualize 2045 (current plan)
Visualize 2045 is the current, federally mandated transportation plan for the National Capital Region approved in June 2022. The plan includes priority projects, programs, and policies that the region's transportation agencies expect to be able to afford through 2045 and also aspirational initiatives that go beyond financial constraints to guide the region to achieve its shared goals.
