Mobility 2035 - 2013 Update

As the Metropolitan Planning Organization for the Dallas-Fort Worth area, the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) is required to maintain a long-range transportation plan that defines a vision for the region’s multimodal transportation system.  This plan is known as the Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) and its aim is to identify policies, programs, and projects for development that respond to adopted goals and to guide expenditures for state and federal funds over the next 20 plus years.

In June 2013, the Regional Transportation Council approved a new long-range transportation plan, Mobility 2035 - 2013 Update. This plan was developed with public input and collaboration with regional transportation partners. Mobility 2035 represents a blueprint for a comprehensive, modern transportation system for the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

The Regional Transportation Council updaed Mobility 2035 to respond to changes in project information. This update was necessary to advance near-term projects toward implementation; a significant portion of the long-range plan was not impacted by the update. The Mobility 2035 – 2013 Update is provided below.
