Updates Underway On Memphis Transportation Plan

Take a moment to consider what Memphis and the surrounding area will look like 23 years from now. Where will the majority of people live and where will they work? How many businesses will have opened or closed, relocated or expanded?

Now imagine a transportation infrastructure that can handle every scenario. Will the roadways be robust enough to accommodate traffic as well as mass transit, pedestrian and bicycle use? Will congestion be mitigated? Will the network of highways and bridges be suitable - and safe?

These are the issues being addressed daily by the Memphis Urban Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), which is in the midst of overhauling its short-term and long-term transportation plans.
