Major Regional Projects

Once funding targets are set for each project category, DVRPC works with counties, PennDOT, NJDOT, and transit agencies to identify and evaluate candidate projects.

A portion of funding is reserved for smaller projects to be added in future Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) updates. The remaining funds support Major Regional Projects (MRPs) , which are large-scale transportation investments that cost more than $40 million and/or significantly impact travel across the region .

MRP Web Map

The map shows MRPs categorized by one or more transportation improvement category.

Roadway and Transit projects in this web map are designated as Funded (prioritized and programmed within anticipated revenues) or Unfunded (aspirational projects aligned with the Plan’s goals that could move forward if new funding becomes available). Illustrative are preservation projects that can advance into the TIP when repairs are needed, and funding is available. There are also Externally Funded projects that don’t use regional dollars, but must be considered due to their impacts on the regional network and air quality conformity. View full featured map

There are also Externally Funded projects that don’t use regional dollars, but must be considered due to their impacts on the regional network and air quality conformity. For more information on each project, including the budgets from project categories they’re funded with, and to view a list of Unmapped and Illustrative projects, see Appendix F—Financial Plan, linked from https://www.dvrpc.org/plan.

Funded projects are scheduled in one or more of the following funding periods, depending on whether the project is located in Pennsylvania or New Jersey.

Funding Period	Pennsylvania	New Jersey
1	2026–2030 (5)	2026–2029 (4)
2	2031–2036 (6)	2030–2036 (6)

In addition to the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), the region’s financial plan is closely linked to the Congestion Management Process (CMP).

The CMP identifies the most congested corridors in Greater Philadelphia and recommends design and technology solutions to reduce traffic and improve mobility. CMP strategies support the Plan’s broader goals by helping to:

Increase mobility and reliability
Integrate modes and improve transit access
Modernize and maintain the transportation network
Advance Vision Zero and improve safety
Support goods movement, security, and emergency preparedness
Invest in Plan Centers where growth is focused

Federal regulations require that any project adding lanes or other capacity for single-occupancy vehicles must align with the CMP. These projects must also include supplemental strategies to prevent new lanes from quickly filling back up with traffic.
