Resources

Metro COG is guided by four (4) principle documents: Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP)Transportation Improvement Program (TIP)Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP), and Public Participation Plan (PPP). These guide policy making and transportation planning processes. Federal regulation specifies the content and purpose of these documents. Additionally, Metro COG produces a number of other plans and resources for the region, which are highlighted below.
