Module 2 - Congestion Reduction Training for MPO Board Members
Channel: NICR MPO Congestion Reduction Training
Date: 2023-04-14

MPO Board members are responsible for making final decisions as part of the federally required performance-based metropolitan transportation planning and programming process, including several directly related to or influencing congestion in their metropolitan areas. But many MPO Board members are not aware of the full range of activities MPOs can engage in. This module describes the purpose of MPOs, including the purpose and role of the MPO Board, committees, staff, and stakeholders, defines MPO responsibilities under federal law, and describes the wide variety of activities and products MPOs either do or can undertake as the lead planning agency in their metropolitan area. After viewing this module, MPO Board members will have a better understanding of the activities and products of the MPO, particularly those related to congestion and congestion management.
