Metropolitan Planning Organizations: Strategies for Future Success

This report is a practical resource for metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) and their state departments of transportation (DOTs) partners to help address their evolving roles and face many of the challenges in the 21st century. It provides strategies for adaptation and improvement that will be effective in a wide range of MPOs that vary in size, structure, resources, and regional context. The report presents best-practice challenges and tools to address 12 important concerns of MPOs: social equity, financially constrained planning, inclusive community engagement, improved curb space utilization, emerging transportation-related technologies, changing travel patterns, changing demographics, incorporating resilience into plans, evaluation of future uncertainty in planning, regional freight, staff retention at MPOs, and shared mobility.
