Title:

Multi-State Metropolitan Planning Organizations: Approaches, Cases, and Institutional Arrangements

Accession Number:

01730759

Record Type:

Monograph

Abstract:

The objective of this project is to identify the approaches used in establishing and operating multi-state metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) throughout the country. Information on the enabling authority for the 40 multi-state MPOs is presented, along with the institutional arrangements, organizational structures, and board composition and voting requirements. Insights are also provided on some of the unique challenges and opportunities facing multi-state MPOs. The results of this research are of benefit and use to professionals at existing multi-state MPOs, state departments of transportation, public transit agencies, and local governments. The results are also of use to multi-state areas that may reach populations of 50,000 in the 2010 Census, existing MPOs that may expand into adjacent states based on the 2010 Census, and multi-state areas that have separate MPOs. This report is divided into four chapters. Chapter 1 provides an introduction. Chapter Two provides an overview of the 40 multi-state MPOs. Information on the year the MPO was designated, the enabling authority, the organizational structure, and the policy board composition and voting requirements is summarized for the 40 multi-state MPOs. The eight case studies are presented in Chapter Three. Chapter Four discusses some of the unique challenges and opportunities facing multi-state MPOs. The report concludes with the identification of areas for further research. Appendix A contains a copy of the information request form. Appendix B provides a profile of each multi-state MPO.
