Featured Programs

The proposed future investment strategy is so much more than the high-capacity projects mapped above. MAG Regional Council has also directed significant investment into various investments that align with MOMENTUM’s goals. This strategy to focus investment in areas, such as safety and bus transit, will provide greater flexibility and ensure that the region can best respond to critical needs now and into the future—even if we don’t know the solutions or technologies today.
