Land Use/Transportation Planning

Mobility 2030:  The Metropolitan Transportation Plan for the Dallas-Fort Worth Area, 2009 Amendments, establishes sustainable development as the region’s strategic approach to transportation planning, programming, and construction. Sustainable development leverages the land use/transportation relationship to improve mobility, enhance air quality, support economic growth, and ensure the financial stability of the transportation system.

By providing planning support for a diverse range of mobility options, such as rail, automobiles, bicycling, transit, and walking, this plan helps local governments present a range of development opportunities to the private sector.

The plan recognizes four categories of sustainable development:

• Strategic Urban Development
• Integrated Land Use Planning/Urban Design
• Transit-Oriented Development
• Access Management
