MTP Update Cycles

MPOs that are in attainment status of air quality standards typically update their MTPs every five years. There may be instances, however, when MPOs desire to update their MTPs in a shorter time span. In these cases, coordination efforts with the TxDOT District, TPP Division, and FHWA are necessary.

MPOs that are in non-attainment status of air quality standards typically update their MTPs every four years. Their four-year planning cycle is a compressed version of this five-year cycle for air quality attainment areas.
