Description

Metropolitan planning organizations (MPO) are responsible for transportation planning in metropolitan areas; however, little is known about what has been achieved by the planning efforts. This report describes: (1) the characteristics and responsibilities of MPOs; (2) the challenges that MPOs face in carrying out their responsibilities; (3) how the U.S. Dept. of Transportation provides oversight for MPOs and the extent to which this improves transportation planning; and (4) the options that have been proposed to enhance transportation planning. To address these objectives, the auditor surveyed all 381 MPOs (with an 86% response rate) and conducted case studies of 8 metro. areas and conducted a survey of program managers. Charts and tables.
