Association of Metropolitan Planning Organizations (AMPO)

The Association of Metropolitan Planning Organizations (AMPO) is a national organization in the United States that represents regional planning groups responsible for coordinating transportation planning in urban areas. These Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) work to ensure that transportation systems are well-planned and funded, addressing issues like traffic, public transit, and infrastructure development. AMPO provides support, resources, and advocacy for MPOs, promoting best practices and collaboration among them. By doing so, it helps to enhance the effectiveness of transportation planning, ultimately leading to more efficient and sustainable urban mobility.
