2045 Metropolitan Transportation Plan
The Sherman-Denison MPO is updating its long-range transportation plan this year, commonly known as the Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP). The MTP is updated every five years, as required by federal law, to plan for the area’s major transportation investments needed to keep up with our region’s growth and development trends. Moving Forward 2045 MTP will guide federal, state, and local funding over the next 25 years to address congestion and transportation needs in the North Texas region. The Plan will include roads, transit, active transportation options such as walking and biking, and also examine new technologies, travel strategies, and choices that maximize the use of current transportation infrastructure.

It consists of transportation planning projects for which federal assistance is sought for FY 2020 – 2021.
