An Astrophysics Roadmap was developed by a task force of the Astrophysics Subcommittee (APS) during 2013. The Roadmap presents a compelling, 30-year vision for astrophysics; the team took the 2010 decadal survey as the starting point and built upon it. The Roadmap is science-based, with notional missions. Community input was solicited and presented in a workshop in the form of a Town Hall; these opportunities were posted and circulated via community email lists. The Roadmap was released publicly in December of 2013.
