What is a Regional Transportation Plan?
Updated every four years, a Regional Transportation Plan is a blueprint that helps support sustainable growth and guides federal funding for transportation investment in the region.
Moving Forward 2055 will cover all modes of ground transportation including highways, roads and bridges, streets, rail and bus transit, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, movement of goods, and transportation for people with disabilities.
The Plan is being developed collaboratively with New York Metropolitan Transportation Council member agencies, other stakeholders, and members of the public – like you! Let’s work together to explore and plan for the future of transportation in the region.

What is the New York Metropolitan Transportation Council?
The New York Metropolitan Transportation Council (NYMTC) is the Metropolitan Planning Organization for New York City, Long Island, and the Lower Hudson Valley.
NYMTC Planning Area
Federal legislation requires that metropolitan regions must have a Metropolitan Planning Organization to plan for and make decisions on the use of federal transportation funding. NYMTC ensures that existing and future spending for transportation projects and programs are based on a cooperative, comprehensive, and continuing planning process.
NYMTC is governed by nine voting members and seven advisory members. The voting members include five suburban county executives, two New York City commissioners, the New York State Transportation Commissioner, and the chief executive of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority.
Advisory members include the New York State Commissioner of Environmental Conservation, the chief executives of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, New Jersey Transit and the North Jersey Transportation Planning Authority, and the local administrators of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the Federal Highway Administration, and the Federal Transit Administration.
