Moving Dutchess Forward is our eighth Metropolitan Transportation Plan, serving as the strategic vision for improving transportation across the county over the next 25 years. It establishes goals for the county’s transportation system, supported by policy and project recommendations that are grounded in data and research, and shaped by our 45 years of experience as the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for Dutchess County.
This iteration of Moving Dutchess Forward builds on our work for the 2021 version of Moving Dutchess Forward: it remains an online product, built to be flexible and interactive, with maps and visuals so readers can easily understand ideas and information. It also maintains a focus on how our transportation system enables or prevents people from accessing the basics of life (such as housing, work, education, etc.). The Plan looks at the policies and investments needed to maintain the transportation system and improve access, considering safety, reliability, and basic needs.
The Plan’s vision statement summarizes our goals: By 2050, Dutchess County’s transportation system will be safer, more reliable, and more resilient for all. For a brief overview of the Plan, see our Executive Summary (.pdf).
