What is the function of the C-PCMPO?
The C-PCMPO is a transportation policy-making organization made up of representatives from local governments in the MSA and, local and state transportation officials. The Federal Surface Transportation Assistance Act of 1973 required the formation of an MPO for any urbanized area with a population greater than 50,000. The C-PCMPO was created in order to ensure that existing and future expenditures for transportation projects and programs were based on a continuing, cooperative, and comprehensive (3-C) planning process. Federal funding for transportation projects and programs are channeled through this planning process.
