Corridor studies and plans 
Part of WisDOT’s long-range transportation plan, Connections 2030, is the identification of a series of system-level priority corridors. These corridors are critical to Wisconsin’s travel patterns and support the state’s economy. Information about individual corridor studies and plans, sorted by transportation region, is also available on this web site.

Manuals and Guidances

The Transportation Planning Manual is a web-based tool that facilitates the communication of planning policy and serves as a planning information resource. 

WisDOT has developed planning guidances for the development of pedestrian and bicycle facilities. 

• Pedestrian planning resources
• Bicycle planning resources

WisDOT created a document that provides guidelines for developing Transportation Improvement Programs (TIPs).

• TIP Preparation Guidance

Comprehensive planning
A number of resources, including downloadable element guidebooks, are available on WisDOT's "transportation and land use" Web.

Local consultation
The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) consults continually with local officials in areas of the state that are not served by metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs).
