The Boston Region MPO’s Long-Range Transportation Plan
The Boston Region Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) is responsible for developing a long-range vision and plan for the future of the region's transportation system. The development of the next Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) is in progress and will guide the MPO's transportation planning and investments for the next two decades.
While the LRTP is regional in scale, engagement begins at the local level with a better understanding of your community’s transportation needs. This interactive website is a platform for you to contribute your ideas, feedback, and priorities for shaping the future of transportation in the Boston area.
