The Boston MPO has completed work on its 2004–25 Regional Transportation Plan (2004 Plan), as called for by the federally mandated transportation planning process. The MPO conducted extensive planning and public outreach for the 2000–25 Transportation Plan Update, which was submitted to the federal government in March 2002. The original 2000–25 Plan had been submitted in January 2001. The 2004 Plan builds on the work that was performed for these two other documents.

The MPO maintained the policies of the 2000–25 Plan. It reviewed the Universe of Highway Projects in order to assess each project using the policies and to determine the projects included in the 2004 Plan. For transit projects, the MPO reviewed the Universe of Transit Projects developed as part of the MBTA’s Program for Mass Transportation.
