MPO (Metropolitan Planning Organization) Coordination

Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) are regional bodies responsible for coordinated transportation planning in urban areas. They bring together local governments, transportation agencies, and public stakeholders to assess transportation needs and develop long-term plans. MPOs ensure that federal and state transportation funding aligns with local priorities, addressing issues like traffic congestion, infrastructure development, and public transit. Their goal is to create efficient, sustainable, and accessible transportation systems that support economic growth and quality of life in metropolitan regions. Through collaboration and data-driven decision-making, MPOs play a vital role in shaping the transportation landscape.
