What is Transportation Planning?
• Transportation planning provides the information, tools and public involvement needed for improving transportation system performance
• Transportation planning is a continuous process that requires monitoring of the system’s performance and condition

What is an MPO?
• Federally designated urbanized areas with populations in excess of 50,000 people to carry out the metropolitan transportation planning process
• Areas with populations in excess of 200,000 are referred to as Transportation Management Areas (TMA)
• Metropolitan planning process involves many contributors (Federal Government, State Agencies, Regional Agencies, Local Government, Public, etc)
