What is a Metropolitan Planning Organization?
Metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) are established under the Federal Highway Act in urbanized areas of 50,000 or more in population in order to receive federal transportation financial assistance. The MPOs coordinate the comprehensive, urban transportation planning process in cooperation with state and local governments. Pima Association of Governments develops federally required plans such as the long-range Regional Transportation Plan (RTP), the short-term Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), the intermodal system management plan and the regional aviation system plan.
