The purpose of the Regional Transit System Plan (RTSP) for 2040 is to serve as the long range transit plan including multi-modal access for the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Northern Virginia.  The RTSP sets the following four project goals for the development of a comprehensive transit system plan for the region:

• Core Capacity – Increasing current transit capacity to the core to meet current and projected future demand and promote continued employment growth
• System Access – Improving current station access for pedestrians, cyclists, bus and automobile operators
• Surface Transit Corridors – Providing priority for surface transit corridors including express bus on HOV, rapid bus on arterials, light rail, and streetcar projects
• New and Emerging Markets – Identifying, connecting, and improving transit access to regional activity centers
