MORPC is currently developing the 2028-2055 Metropolitan Transportation Plan for the Columbus Urbanized Area. The Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) is a long-range planning document that identifies transportation priorities, strategies, and projects over the next two decades. It is updated on a 4-year cycle. MORPC coordinates the development of the MTP with communities throughout Central Ohio and with other local, state, and federal agencies. The MTP makes the greater Columbus region eligible to receive a large amount of federal transportation funding to improve, maintain, and operate public transit, highways, bikeways, sidewalks, and related facilities. Transportation projects must be included in the MTP to be eligible to receive federal funding.
MORPC has secured a $1.4 million grant from the Federal Highway Administration to improve the plan development process for the MTP, including more public engagement, improved project prioritization, and a generally more transparent process.
Opportunities to Get Engaged
Public input on the goals and objectives which will drive the MTP development process is currently being solicited. The Mid-Ohio Region Transportation Priorities Survey is now closed, and we will utilize the input received from this survey to develop draft goals for the 2028-2055 MTP.
We are continuing to solicit public input on Central Ohio’s transportation priorities through MORPC’s 2026 Leaders Listen on Transportation Survey. We value your feedback and we want to hear what you and your neighbors think about safety, transit, roads, cleaner vehicles, and what’s next, like passenger rail and even air taxis.
Please take a few minutes to complete the survey by clicking the link below, no later than Monday, November 30.
