Plan 2040 provided a vision for development of the transportation system through 2040 and served as a transportation investment guide for the region. It carried forward key elements of
Plan 2035, including a Regional Capital Investment Strategy.

Air Quality Conformity documents.
Under federal law, Metropolitan Planning Organizations like the NJTPA are required to update their long range plans every four years as a condition for the receipt of federal transportation funding.
Preparation of Plan 2040 was closely coordinated with the development of a Regional Plan for Sustainable Development (RPSD), funded with a $5 million grant from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Known as
Together North Jersey, this effort was carried out by a consortium of public, private and non-profit organizations including the NJTPA. The RPSD was released in fall 2015.
