Title VI Plan

What is it?
The Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) defines long-range transportation needs for the City of Winchester, surrounding developed areas of Frederick County, and areas expected to become developed over the next 20 years; and proposes strategies for addressing those needs.  Through the MTP, the MPO establishes its priorities for the investment of federal transportation dollars.

Reviewed and updated every five years to confirm its validity and its consistency with the most current forecasts and trends in population, employment, land use, travel, congestion and economic activity, the MTP must cover at least a 20-year planning horizon.  WinFred MPO’s 2045 Metropolitan Transportation Plan was adopted in November 2022.

In accordance with Federal law, the plan must contain the following elements:

• Identification of transportation facilities that should function as an integrated metropolitan transportation system
• Performance measures and targets
• A system performance report
• A discussion of potential environmental mitigation activities
• A financial plan that demonstrates how the adopted plan can be implemented
• Operational and management strategies to improve the performance of existing facilities
• Capital investment and other strategies to preserve the system and provide for future needs; and
• A discussion of transportation and transit enhancement activities including public and private intercity bus service.

Why should I care?
Much of what we call “transportation infrastructure” – streets, highways, bridges, and even transit buses, sidewalks and bike trails – is paid for by you, the taxpayer.  You have a voice in determining the shape of our transportation system: how it affects the character of our community, how safe it is, and whether it opens or blocks access to opportunity – for young and old, driver and non-driver.  The MTP planning process offers an opportunity to let your voice be heard.
