Each Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) has specific requirements and retains independent authority, and produced independent plans, but the final document presents a unified program of transportation projects for the Research Triangle region through 2045. Regional coordination efforts between CAMPO and DCHC MPO included county transit plans, the Connect 2045 Scenario Planning Initiative, Joint Policy Board meetings, and financial planning, in addition to joint development of goals, objectives, performance measures, and alternatives. The 2045 MTP also builds on over a dozen recent plans and studies, and both MPOs utilize the Triangle Regional Model. Vision and Goals The plan defines a common vision for the region’s transportation system, along with goals, objectives, and quantitative and qualitative performance measures to track progress. The MTP defines its vision as follows: A seamlessly integrated set of transportation services that provide travel choices to support economic development and that:  are compatible with the character and development of our communities,  are sensitive to the environment,  improve quality of life, and  are safe and accessible for all. Goals and objectives to achieve this vision are defined in the plan as follows:
