Go Prince George's
What is Go Prince George’s?
Go Prince George’s is the new Master Plan of Transportation. It implements Plan Prince George’s 2035, the County’s approved general plan, by setting a guiding vision, supporting goals, and measurable actions to transform the County’s transportation network by creating more travel options, reconstructing the County’s streets and roads to meet current and future needs, identifying equitable and sustainable investments in the County’s future, and focusing on the movement of people versus solely the movement of vehicles. Go Prince George’s will update and replace the 2009 MPOT Approved Countywide Master Plan of Transportation and will carry forward or update the transportation recommendations from active area master and sector master plans and recently completed transportation studies.

Go Prince George’s (formerly Countywide Master Plan of Transportation – Plan 2035 Implementation – MPOT 2035), a countywide functional master plan for guiding transportation infrastructure and network development, will update and replace the 2009 MPOT as well as the transportation facility recommendations from the active area and sector master plans.
The Prince George’s County Planning Department has initiated a multi-year effort to develop a new and updated Master Plan of Transportation (MPOT).
Go Prince George’s will also implement the approved general plan, Plan Prince George’s 2035 (Plan 2035), the County’s 38 active master, sector, and transit district development plans, and studies conducted by the Planning Department, the Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR), the Department of Public Works and Transportation (DPW&T), and other partners.
- On May 30, 2023, the Planning Department presented an update on Go Prince George’s to the County Council, sitting as the Committee of the Whole.
- On July 15, 2021, the Planning Department presented an update on Go Prince George’s to the Planning Board.
Extension of Plan Preparation: On March 21, 2023, the County Council approved a one-year extension of Go Prince George’s, to allow the Planning Department to conduct additional legislative outreach and technical analysis, and to continue to coordinate with partner agencies. Additional challenges and opportunities identified through these efforts necessitated an additional 11-month extension of the period to prepare the Staff Draft of Go Prince George’s for public review and comment, which the County Council approved on February 27, 2024. The Staff Draft of Go Prince George’s is scheduled for public release in late January 2025.
County Council Initiation: On September 21, 2021, the County Council approved the initiation of the MPOT 2035 Functional Master Plan, as well as the approval of the project’s Recommended Goals, Concepts, and Guidelines and the Public Participation Program.
Planning Board Request for Initiation: Only July 15, 2021, the Prince George’s County Planning Board requested that the County Council initiate a new master plan of transportation.
