“Create your future from your future,
not your past.”
— Werner Erhard
Overview of the 2040 LRTP
Metropolitan Planning Organizations
• Were created by Congress as part of the Federal-Aid Highway Act of
1962 for any urbanized areas (UZA) with a population greater than
50,000
• Are intended to ensure that expenditures of public funds for
transportation projects and programs are based on a continuing,
cooperative and comprehensive planning process
• MPOs are required by law to provide local input in the coordination and
planning of transportation
• Are primarily responsible for prioritizing Federal Highway and Transitfunded projects within the planning area
