Master Transportation Plan (MTP)

The Master Transportation Plan (MTP) provides general guidance for Arlington’s transportation system through 2030. Early efforts include the following documents:

Elements of the Master Transportation Plan

The overall goals, policies and map elements of the plan are supported by six modal element documents — bicycle, transportation demand and system management, parking and curb space management, pedestrian, streets, and transit — which provide more detailed guidance.

Master Transportation Plan Map

The MTP Map identifies approved and planned transportation facilities in Arlington County. Separate sections of the map depict the planned bicycle facilities and transit service networks. Information about Complete Streets and the County’s street typology are also included. This map is periodically updated as needed.

 

The Journey Begins: Arlington’s Transportation Future

Arlington’s Transportation Future launched in October 2024 and will create a refreshed Transportation Plan for Arlington County, replacing the 2007 Master Transportation Plan. With this plan, Arlington will be better positioned to fulfill our commitments to safety, equity, accessibility, and climate resiliency and address the transportation needs for both current and future residents.

The plan will serve as the Transportation Element of the County’s Comprehensive Plan, directing community investment in the coming decades and ensuring that Arlington continues to be a place where people want to live, businesses choose to locate, and visitors come to enjoy.
