Municipal Planning Organizations

Municipal Planning Organizations (MPOs) are regional groups that coordinate transportation planning among local governments within a specific area. They develop plans and prioritize projects for roads, transit, and infrastructure to ensure efficient, safe, and sustainable mobility. MPOs analyze data, forecast future needs, and allocate funding to transportation initiatives, helping communities work together on regional transportation goals. They play a key role in guiding development and ensuring transportation systems serve the public interest across multiple jurisdictions.
