“Region Forward” is the vision and commitment by Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments (MWCOG) and its member governments, who together seek to create a more accessible, sustainable, prosperous, and livable National Capital Region. MWCOG’s overarching mission is to make “Region Forward” a reality by being a discussion forum, expert resource, issue advocate, and catalyst for action.

In the District’s budget, the MWCOG agency represents the District’s annual payment to MWCOG.
