The Connections 2045 Plan includes a robust needs assessment for maintaining all existing road, bridge, and transit infrastructure. It also lists desired transportation investments to improve operational efficiency of existing facilities, and to expand roadway, transit, and bike and pedestrian infrastructure. The sum of all these needs is referred to as the region's Vision Plan.
The Connections 2045 Major Regional Project table and webmap account for changes to project scope, timing, cost, and inclusion in the fiscally-constrained plan as part of the Plan Amendment. The Plan and Amendment are both available at www.dvrpc.org/longrangeplan.

Major Regional Projects are large-scale projects that will have a significant impact on regional travel. Almost all system expansion projects are Major Regional Projects, as are reconstruction projects on the region’s freeways. Major Operational Improvement initiatives, such as SEPTA’s fare modernization project, are also listed in the Plan. For the sake of brevity, smaller-scale projects that were identified in the needs assessment are not listed in the Plan document. Instead, the various funding categories in the Plan serve as placeholders for their funding, and they may be explicitly listed in future iterations of the TIP.

This table shows how revenue is allocated to different funding categories for both roadway and transit projects.
Illustrative classification represents preservation projects that need to occur over the next 25 years, but have not yet moved into the TIP.
