MTP Policy Bundle

Mobility 2045 Update, the region’s current Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP), makes recommendations consisting of policies, programs, and projects that reflect regional priorities and support Mobility 2045 Update goals. However, the construction of infrastructure projects alone cannot achieve the goals of Mobility 2045 Update.

To encourage the development of alternative, strategic solutions, Mobility 2045 Update includes a voluntary list of policies that local governments and transportation agencies can choose to adopt. These policies aim to address issues that affect transportation in the region, and cover a wide range of topics. By voluntarily adopting 50 percent of these policies, participating agencies will receive an offset of local funds for new federal transportation projects in the form of Transportation Development Credits (TDCs).

Announcements

TDCs awarded from Round 5 have been extended for use through FY2026. Due to the ongoing development of Mobility 2050, Round 6 of the MTP Policy Bundle is deferred by one year and is expected to open in early 2026, with TDCs expected to be available for use in FY2027-FY2028. The new plan, anticipated for adoption in summer 2025, will introduce an updated list of policies for the Policy Bundle.
