What should transportation in the Greater Madison region look like in 2050?
That's the question the Greater Madison Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) is asking residents as it launches Pathways to 2050, a long-range Regional Transportation Plan update that will help shape transportation priorities across the Greater Madison area over the next 20–30 years.
As Dane County continues to grow, the plan will guide future decisions related to roads, public transit, walking and biking infrastructure, accessibility, and safety—and help inform how federal transportation funding is prioritized throughout the region.
Residents are encouraged to get involved throughout the planning process in several ways:
Take the Public Survey
Residents can complete a 10-minute survey, available in English and Spanish, to share transportation needs, priorities, and challenges across the region.
Participants can also use an interactive comment map to identify areas of concern, highlight transportation challenges, or suggest improvements in specific locations.
Residents who would like to take the survey in a language other than English or Spanish can complete the survey by phone at (608) 266-4336.
Attend a Public Involvement Meeting
The MPO will also host a series of public involvement meetings throughout the planning process, beginning in June. The first meeting will be offered on two dates and times for scheduling flexibility:
Both meetings will be held virtually and include an overview of the planning process, regional transportation trends and data, draft goals, and opportunities for public feedback.
