Transportation Planning

 

BCATS conducts many transportation activities including the development of a 20-year long range plan, called the Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP), and the compilation of a 4-year short range program, called the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP).

 



 

2045 Metropolitan Transportation Plan

 

The 2045 Metropolitan Transportation Plan was approved by the BCATS Policy Committee on February 23, 2022. The full 222-page document can be viewed here or view the Executive Summary here.

Each year an updated System Performance Report, first prepared as part of the MTP, needs to be completed by the metropolitan planning organization.  BCATS' 2023 update of the System Performance Report can be found here.
