Cape Cod Regional Transportation Plan

Overview

The Regional Transportation Plan, a long-range comprehensive plan, is the primary means by which federal and state funds are allocated to the Cape's transportation needs. The Cape Cod Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), a collaboration of local, regional, state, and federal transportation officials, votes on this federally required document, which is compiled and maintained by the staff of the Cape Cod Commission. It is updated every four years.

Development of Cape Cod 2024 Regional Transportation Plan 

The Cape Cod 2024 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) update is underway. The 2024 RTP will be a 25-year vision for the future of transportation on Cape Cod through 2050.
