Plans

Regional Policy Framework

This 2022 document provides a synthesis of the TPB Policy Framework. Its principles and goals should inform planning throughout the metropolitan Washington region.

TPB Vision

This short, influential, policy document lays out eight broad goals to guide the region’s transportation investments and was approved by the TPB in 1998.
 

Regional Transportation Priorities Plan (RTPP)

The RTPP identifies strategies with the greatest potential to respond to the region's most significant transportation challenges to help guide planning and decision-making in the region.
 

Aspirational Initiatives

These seven transportation aspirational initiatives, if enacted, have the potential to significantly improve the region’s transportation system performance. The region is focused on realizing these initiatives, including through its long-range plan, Visualize 2045.
