Survivor~Stage IV

In addition to specific projects, the LRTP defines investment programs to guide DFO`s decision-making for its five-year capital plan, the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). Investment programs provide direction for the types of lower-cost projects that DFO will consider throughout the life of the plan through the TIP and indicate to municipalities and agencies that DFO has funding for certain types of projects. Destination 2040 includes new programmes to support the modernisation of transit traffic, dedicated infrastructure for bus lanes and climate stability. An aging population, a changing labor market, and continued demand for housing are all forces that will characterize the Boston area over the next 20 years. Destination 2040 defines a vision for the regional transport system and funds both capital investments and research studies to support this vision. Destination 2040 consists of two volumes: the needs analysis, which analyzes the transportation needs of the region, and the plan that recommends projects and programs to meet these needs. Traffic planners work closely with developers to thoroughly assess the impact of a project on transportation. They also propose plans to reduce this impact. Through personal and online public relations, we asked people for transportation needs and solicited information about DFO`s proposed objectives, projects and programs. The needs of stakeholders have shaped DFO`s vision.
