The Council of Governments ensures a well-managed and maintained transportation system through its support of the National Capital Region Transportation Planning Board (TPB), the federally designated metropolitan planning organization (MPO) for metropolitan Washington. The TPB, which is staffed by COG, conducts the federally mandated transportation planning process for the region and ensures the uninterrupted flow of federal transportation funds that area jurisdictions receive.
The Transportation Planning Board's work spans a wide range of transportation modes, such as highways, transit, walking, and bicycling, as well as planning related to the region's freight movement and three major airports. The TPB also addresses some of the region’s most significant issues like equity, climate change and the environment, transportation resilience, the economy, public health, traffic safety, land use, funding, and emerging technologies.
