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).

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.
