Welcome!

The Draft 2040 Major Transportation Corridors Plan (MTCP) is now available for public review and comment.  The draft 2040 MTCP is the result of an approximately 18-month process that included extensive public outreach and technical analysis.  The Draft Plan outlines where roadway improvements will be needed and how much it will cost to build or improve them.

Thank You for your participation in the development of the 2040 MTCP.  We hope you will continue to participate by providing your final comments and suggestions on the Draft Plan.  If you are new to this project, Welcome!  There is still time to get involved by reviewing the Draft Plan and providing comments.  The public comment period will run from September 2 to October 2, 2011.
