2018 Plan Update:

The Transportation Policy Plan (TPP) update process is a collaborative effort between the Metropolitan Council and local governmental agencies.  In addition to public outreach, one important source of local input comes through the Transportation Advisory Board (TAB) and the technical committees which report back to the TAB.  The TAC Planning Committee serves as the primary technical stakeholder group during the preparation of  the TPP and reports back to the TAB.  

Below is the proposed draft 2018 update – the Council will act to formally release this draft for public comment at the Transportation Committee June 11 and the full Council on June 27.

For a broad summary of all the key policy issues and questions in the plan – geared to provide a higher level understanding of the plan and key finance and policy information – read the Overview. 

The chapters contain detailed information for local governments and groups who will need additional detail about the plans strategies. The appendices provide additional information related to federal compliance and technical detail.
