Contributing studies

From the last policy plan update until the 2050 plan is published, the transportation planning team leads a series of studies and plans that provide research, data, and emerging trends that help shape the direction of the TPP.

Work groups

The 2050 TPP was developed with technical and policy feedback from two special work groups:

• The 2050 TPP Technical Working Group was a forum for transportation and planning professionals to provide detailed technical feedback on the 2050 TPP content, development process, and contributing studies.

• The 2050 TPP Advisory Work Group served to review plan development, its relation to the 2050 regional development guide, and provide guidance to Met Council staff on policy issues. The Advisory Work Group includes members of the Met Council, Transportation Advisory Board, and other agency decision makers.
