About Us

COG is the one place in metropolitan Washington that regularly brings leaders together to develop solutions to the region's major challenges. COG prepares plans enabling the region to receive federal funding, provides members with research and data to inform decision-making, and offers a wide range of programs, including commuter services, cooperative purchasing, technical assistance and grants, and public outreach campaigns.

Transportation

Through the National Capital Region Transportation Planning Board (TPB), area officials, planners, and engineers ensure a well-managed and maintained transportation system. 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.

Environment

COG's work engages leaders in various environmental fields from water quality experts to climate scientists. Together, they are advancing regional efforts to restore local waterways, improve air quality, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and address climate change, promote recycling, and enhance and preserve green space and agriculture.

Community

Area officials and experts, including planning and housing directors and child welfare and health officials, work together with their counterparts at COG to help shape stronger communities throughout the region.

Homeland Security & Public Safety

COG brings police chiefs, fire chiefs, emergency managers, and other leaders together as part of its work to strengthen regional public safety coordination, homeland security planning, and emergency communication.

Long-Range Plan Task Force Reports

Dec 20, 2017

Summary

The TPB Long-Range Plan Task Force identified a limited set of regionally significant projects, programs, and policies above and beyond what is in the region's current long-range transportation plan.

The Phase I report summarizes the efforts of the predecessor to the task force, the Unfunded Capital Needs Working Group, providing a context for future priority setting by examining three scenarios of the region’s long-term (2040) transportation system performance—a 'no-build' scenario assuming no additional transportation investments, a 'planned-build' scenario assuming investments in the long-range plan, and an 'all-build' scenario assuming all planned funded and unfunded investments.

The Phase II report summarizes an analysis conducted by the task force to compare the impacts of potential initiatives against the currently adopted long-range transportation plan for the year 2040. This report describes the background leading up to this analysis, discusses regional challenges and performance measures for assessing those challenges, and summarizes the technical methods used to evaluate the initiatives and the results of this analysis.
