2040 Forecast

• Our region is growing and changing.
• The METRO Service Area will add another 2 million residents by 2040, an increase of 50%.
• Population and job growth mean more people are moving throughout the service area—putting more demand on our transportation network.
• Meanwhile, the region is growing and the core is densifying, creating an environment where high capacity transit can thrive.
