The Bloomington-Monroe County Metropolitan Planning Organization (BMCMPO) Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) identifies recommended improvements to the transportation system within the MPO Planning Area, which includes the City of Bloomington, the Town of Ellettsville, and urbanized portions of Monroe County, Indiana. The plan considers needs related to roadways, public transit, bikeways, pedestrian walkways, and freight.
Federal requirements mandate that the Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) maintain at least a 20-year planning horizon. The BMCMPO updates the MTP every five years in order to maintain a minimum 20-year time horizon. Through the development of an MTP, the Bloomington-Monroe County Metropolitan Planning Organization (BMCMPO) seeks to answer questions such as:
- What should transportation in Bloomington and Monroe County look like in 2045?
- What are our transportation priorities for the future and how do we achieve that vision?

The BMCMPO achieved adoption of the 2050 Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) by the BMCMPO Policy Committee on February 14, 2025. An overview of the 2050 MTP can be viewed on the MTP StoryMap.
