In June 2005, the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC) adopted its current long-range plan, Destination 2030, which identifies important regional policy and planning objectives. The plan is a comprehensive blueprint for the region's future, and considers means to maintain the region's infrastructure and to fund its programs.

Tracking Progress Toward 2030: Regional Indicators for the DVRPC Long Range Plan ("Tracking Progress") serves as a systematic framework through which DVRPC can monitor the region's advancement toward the attainment of its long-range planning goals and highlight effective programs. Tracking Progress is an ongoing, outcome-based effort to align DVRPC's planning and implementation activities, and is intended to guide the region's investment strategy and help achieve Destination 2030's adopted visions and goals. The project is designed to collect and compile a meaningful time series data set that can help DVRPC and its planning partners be more effective in decision-making. The resulting products will also feed back into future long-range plan updates and subsequent performance measures to provide an invaluable interface between the region's investment pattern and the evaluative process. Tracking Progress is a critical component in assessing the implementation of the DVRPC long-range plan.
