What is the Bismarck-Mandan Metropolitan Planning Organization?
The BMMPO provides transportation planning activities in the area. All urbanized areas with a population greater than 50,000 are required to have a Metropolitan Planning Organization in order to be eligible for receiving federal funding for transportation projects such as transit operations, bicycle/pedestrian facility, and road construction. The BMMPO is funded with 80% federal funding by the federal Transportation/Highway Trust Fund, with revenues generated from federal fuel and excise taxes provided specifically to the Bismarck-Mandan area for transportation planning purposes.
