What is connect 2050?
Connect 2050, an update to the existing Connect 2040 plan, is the guiding document for the future of our region’s multi-modal transportation system over the next twenty-plus years. It’s the blueprint for how we can achieve our vision to Enhance Mobility, Strengthen Communities, and Generate Prosperity.
Long-range transportation plans are federally-required documents, standard throughout the United States. These plans walk through regional transportation needs of today while also examining future challenges. Over the last two years, the FHMPO has worked with local and state partners, and community members and organizations, to gain a complete understanding of our region's transportation needs today as well as in the future.

Travel Demand Model
A travel demand model (TDM) uses complex mathematics to predict future traffic conditions and travel times based on a variety of data, including population, land use, and road network characteristics. The TDM helps decision-makers evaluate the transportation system of today and the future and allows for the testing or projects and policies to find solutions.
