The current long-range plan for the greater Philadelphia region, Destination 2030, was adopted by the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC) Board on June 23, 2005. This plan was guided by public input, coordination with partner agencies, and background documents such as Regional Analysis of What-If Scenarios and Destination 2030 - A Vision for the Future. The What-If Scenarios looked at several alternative scenarios and their impact on the future form of the region. The Vision for the Future report analyzed current trends and forecasts, articulated a singular vision, and developed specific goals for: urban revitalization, growth management, economic development, the environment, equity and opportunity, transportation facilities, transportation operations, and transportation finance.

These findings formed the basis for Destination 2030 – the Year 2030 Plan for the Delaware Valley, which defined the region’s land use and transportation policies, and selected a set of fiscally constrained transportation projects. Destination 2030 put a strong emphasis on rebuilding existing transportation infrastructure and linking transportation investments to land use, economic development, environmental and transportation goals. In May 2007, the DVRPC Board adopted a set of revisions to the Destination 2030 Plan in order to address requirements mandated by the passage of SAFETEA-LU.
