Launched in October 2024, Arlington’s Transportation Future is a County initiative to develop a refreshed Transportation Plan, to replace the 2007 Master Transportation Plan. A key part of the vision is that “Everyone can rely on a variety of high-quality, sustainable transportation options to get them where they want to go, when they need to be there, with desirable choices beyond using a car”. The plan aims to position Arlington to meet its goals to safety, equity, accessibility, ease of use, and climate resiliency and address the transportation needs for both current and future residents. The plan will serve as the Transportation Element of the County’s Comprehensive Plan, guiding community investment in the coming decades and ensuring that Arlington continues to be a place where people want to live, businesses choose to locate, and visitors come to enjoy. At the same time, transportation planning is inherently regional and its success will depend heavily on collaboration within the DMV and ability to leverage best practices in other jurisdictions.
