Where can I find examples of by-laws and the composition of policy boards for new MPOs?
The FHWA/FTA Metropolitan Capacity Building web site includes several case studies that document the experiences of MPOs that were established during the 1990s, after new urbanized areas were defined following the 1990 Census (http://www.mcb.fhwa.dot.gov/technical.html). Because formal designation requirements may vary by state, it is best to use examples from existing MPOs in your state.
