Metropolitan Policy, Planning, and Processes

Scope: The committee is concerned with the institutional relationships and interactive processes associated with metropolitan transportation planning and Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs), and the aspects of those relationships and processes that influence MPO effectiveness. The committee will examine the evolving role and planning processes of MPOs, including, but not necessarily limited to, goal-setting, long-range planning, project identification and selection, and system management and operation. The roles and impact of federal, state, and local governments, quasi-governmental agencies, State DOTs, public transit providers, private organizations, citizen groups, and emerging regional initiatives in the metropolitan transportation planning process are also integral parts of the committee’s scope.
