Why Update the Plan?: This Transportation Plan Update (TPU) represents the most comprehensive update to the original transportation plan since it was prepared in 1992. Unlike previous updates, this TPU will address all components of the transportation system -- maintenance, operations, preservation, improvements, and administration (collectively referred to as 'MOPIA').

In addition, it will be a financially constrained plan that will focus on the transportation projects and services that the County can realistically afford to implement over the next 20 years.

1. Why Update the Plan?: This Transportation Plan Update (TPU) represents the most comprehensive update to the original transportation plan since it was prepared in 1992. Unlike previous updates, this TPU will address all components of the transportation system -- maintenance, operations, preservation, improvements, and administration (collectively referred to as 'MOPIA').

In addition, it will be a financially constrained plan that will focus on the transportation projects and services that the County can realistically afford to implement over the next 20 years.

2. When will the plan be updated?: The schedule for the TPU has been modified to align with the 2015 Pierce County Comprehensive Plan update. This will result in the adoption of the TPU being delayed to accurately reflect the land use, population, employment, and other policy assumptions from the updated Comprehensive Plan.
