The CFP is the process through which public agencies submit transportation projects for consideration and evaluation for inclusion in the RTP2050.

What is the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP)?

As the federally designated Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), H-GAC must develop and update a Regional Transportation Plan (RTP). This plan helps guide major transportation projects for the next 20 years or more.

H-GAC is responsible for regional transportation planning in the eight-county Houston-Galveston area. This region includes more than 7.2 million people across Brazoria, Chambers, Fort Bend, Galveston, Harris, Liberty, Montgomery, and Waller counties.

The most recent version of the RTP, the 2045 RTP Update and the 2045 RTP Update Amendment, included:

• Nearly $109 billion in transportation investments
• More than 750 projects to enhance mobility and infrastructure
• Projects supported by 63 local public agencies

Why It Matters

Public input is a key part of developing the RTP2050. H-GAC is gathered feedback through multiple rounds of public meetings. Public feedback included an RTP visioning survey, interactive mapping exercises, and more. These efforts helped ensure the plan reflects the needs and priorities of the community because it's your plan, my plan, our plan.
