Regional Transportation Plan
The Greater Madison MPO is updating the region's long-range transportation plan, which helps guide transportation investments and priorities across Greater Madison for the next 20–30 years.
The updated plan, Pathways to 2050, will look at how people travel today, what the region will need in the future, and how transportation investments can support a growing and changing community.
The plan also helps guide decisions about roads, public transit, biking, and walking while giving local communities and partner agencies a shared framework for planning and prioritizing transportation projects.
Get Involved
As we begin updating the plan, we want to hear from people across the Greater Madison region.
Public Meetings
Three rounds of virtual public meetings will take place throughout 2026 and 2027 to share planning updates and gather community input.
The next Public Involvement Meeting will be held in November 2026, with two dates and times to choose from. Join us to hear what we've learned from focus groups, the public survey and community feedback—and how that input is helping shape the plan.
Upcoming Meetings
Public Involvement Meeting #2
Public Involvement Meeting #2 is coming up in November 2026! Join us to hear what we've learned from the community so far and how that input is helping shape the draft plan.
Choose the date and time that works best for you. Both meetings will be held virtually and cover the same information.
Public Involvement Meeting #3
Public Involvement Meeting #3 is happening in January 2027. Join us to review the final draft of Pathways to 2050 and share your feedback before the plan is finalized.
The meeting will be offered on two different dates and times for scheduling flexibility. Both meetings will be held virtually and will cover the same information.
Past Meetings
Public Involvement Meeting #1
Our first round of public meetings was held on June 15 and June 17, 2026. Both meetings covered the same information.
Note: The Meeting Q&A includes responses to questions that were answered in the meeting chat or that we didn't have time to answer during the live sessions. It includes only questions submitted through the Q&A feature, as chat history is not available after the meetings.
