Comment on Visualize 2050

Description:
Public Comment (on-line)

Date:
Thru March 30th

The National Capital Region Transportation Planning Board (TPB) at the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments is seeking public feedback through March 30 on the Visualize 2050 National Capital Region Transportation Plan before the TPB conducts an Air Quality Conformity Analysis of proposed, regionally significant roadway and transit projects, the next step in the planning process.  

All major transportation projects must be in the TPB plan to receive federal funding and approvals, from the planned I-495 interchange improvements near the proposed new FBI headquarters in Greenbelt, Maryland, to the expansion of bus lanes along Georgia Avenue in the District of Columbia and the US Route 1 Bus Rapid Transit project in Fairfax County, Virginia.

Learn more about the plan and access the public comment form/maps. Our friends at the Coalition for Smarter Growth have also prepared an excellent primer on the Visualize 2050 plan.
