What is Destination 2055?
Destination 2055 is the long-range Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) for the Triangle region of North Carolina. The plan is being developed cooperatively by the Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (CAMPO) and the Triangle West Transportation Planning Organization (TWTPO, formerly known as the Durham-Chapel Hill-Carrboro Metropolitan Planning Organization or DCHC MPO). This plan will identify roadway, transit, rail, bicycle, pedestrian and other transportation projects that are recommended for development over the next 30 years. Read more…
How can I get involved in Destination 2055?
The next phase in MTP development is the public release of the Draft Destination 2055 MTP, including project lists and interactive maps illustrating how the region’s transportation network could be improved over the next 10, 20, 30 years and beyond. Triangle West TPO will be releasing their Draft maps and lists in late August; CAMPO will be in late September/early October. More on how you can participate in the plan development process…
What is the schedule for creating Destination 2055?
It will take about two years to complete the process of drafting and adopting Destination 2055, with initial work beginning in late 2023 and plan adoption anticipated in late 2025. At different points in the process, the public will have opportunities to weigh in on different elements of the plan. Read more…
Where can I find documents related to Destination 2055?
During plan development, a number of documents will be developed which will be posted here once available.
Where can I learn more information?
A variety of agencies provide transportation services in the Triangle region, and a variety of existing transportation plans have been developed for the region.

Preferred Alternative
The scenario moving forward is the region’s most ambitious scenario, which was the “All Together” scenario during the previous, Alternatives Analysis Phase, of the Destination 2055 development. It is based on future development and land use that is more concentrated and dense. Share comments by August 10, 2025.
Alternatives Analysis
- View the Alternatives Analysis Virtual Open House Recording & Presentation
- Event occurred on Thursday, May 22nd; Materials posted on Get Involved
- The “Alternative Futures” survey is available now and will close on May 26, 2025. You are encouraged to participate, and to share the link with anyone who might be interested!
Deficiency & Needs Analysis
As part of the Destination 2055 development process, staff conducted analyses of potential future system deficiencies if future transportation projects are not constructed. More information about these analyses can be found on the individual MPO websites linked below.
Pre-MTP Scenarios
In early 2024, staff conducted an analysis of several “what if…” scenarios that was intended to help understand some of the opportunities and limitations presented by significant changes to the basic assumptions underlying the Metropolitan Transportation Plan, such as land use patterns and density, transportation investment decisions, and other related public policies. These scenarios were not intended to be realistic, but rather to help us understand the impacts of these factors as we develop the actual alternatives that will be analyzed as part of Destination 2055.
