Allegheny County Comprehensive Plan
The Southwestern Pennsylvania Commission (SPC) is the
federally-mandated Metropolitan Planning Organization
(MPO) charged with regional transportation policymaking
and planning for the ten county region surrounding
the City of Pittsburgh. Congress created MPO’s in
order to ensure that existing and future expenditures
of governmental funds for transportation projects and
programs are based on a continuing, cooperative, and
comprehensive planning process. Federal funding for
transportation projects and programs is channeled
through this planning process. The Southwestern Pennsylvania
2040 Transportation and Development Plan,
or 2040 Plan, is an update of the 2035 Transportation
and Development Plan. The 2035 Plan was developed
through a community engagement process called Project
Region. Project Region was led by the Southwestern
Pennsylvania Commission, and was conducted in partnership
with a wide range of other public, private, and nonprofit
organizations This planning process was used as
the backbone and basis for the 2040 Update.
