Amending the Plan

Opportunities for public involvement in regional transportation planning do not stop with the adoption of the long-range transportation plan. Transportation Outlook 2040 will continue to evolve as additional needs are identified. Amendments may be made to the plan as projects are modified, or as new projects, funding, programs or transportation legislation arise. In addition, MARC is federally required to complete a major update of the long-range transportation plan at least every five years.
