Boston Metropolitan Planning Organization
The Boston Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) is a regional agency responsible for coordinating transportation planning and funding for the Boston metropolitan area. It works with local governments, transportation agencies, and the public to develop plans and prioritize projects that improve roads, public transit, cycling, and walking infrastructure. The MPO ensures that transportation investments support regional goals like mobility, safety, and economic growth, while also complying with federal requirements. Essentially, it helps guide and allocate resources for transportation improvements that benefit the entire Boston area.
