The Transportation Planning Division of DVRPC is responsible for coordinating the transportation planning process conducted in the nine-county region, collecting and providing data for regional studies, conducting research, and developing the long range transportation plan and the short-term transportation improvement program.

Work undertaken by the Division is directed by the Board and its committees through the annual Work Program. Most of the work of the Transportation Division is reviewed by the Regional Transportation Committee, at its monthly meetings.

Capital Programming

Here you will find everything you need to know about the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), special funding programs like Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) and Transportation Enhancements (TE), the region's most significant projects, and how DVRPC assists member agencies implement local projects.

Multi-Modal Planning

Multi-modal planning uses a comprehensive approach to improving the region's transportation system by considering many different modes of transportation in the planning process. This is the place to find out about DVRPC's work in Aviation Planning, Bicycle/Pedestrian Planning, Freight Planning, planning for Public Transit, and Safety Planning. Information on DVRPC's Traffic Studies and Corridor Studies can also be found here. Traffic counts for the regions highway system, conducted through DVRPC's Traffic Counting Program, are also available.

Commuter Services

The Office of Commuter Services offers an array of information and programs geared toward employers and their employees. The goal of Commuter Services is to improve air quality and increase mobility, while lessening traffic congestion through alternate modes of transportation. Employers can improve their benefit package by offering TransitChek, the region's commuter voucher program. At the same time, employees can save up to $400 per year in taxes. The Mobility Alternatives Program (MAP) assists Southeastern Pennsylvania employers in establishing alternative commutes for employees, while at the same time, improving the company's bottom line and increasing employee morale. Share-A-Ride is a computer-based ridematch program open to either commuters working or employers located in Southeastern Pennsylvania. You can take advantage of these programs, and others, while helping the environment in the process.

Long Range Transportation Planning

The 2030 Long Range Plan, known as "Destination 2030", serves as the cornerstone for comprehensive land use and transportation planning throughout the region. Long range transportation planning is largely based on federal laws and regulations and also references air quality planning, travel forecasting, and Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) projects — all of which offer benefits to communities far beyond the present.
