A Metropolitan Planning Organization, or MPO, is a transportation policy-making and planning body with representatives of local, state & federal government and transit providers.

An MPO is required in urbanized areas of 50,000+ population.

An MPO ensures federal spending on transportation occurs through a comprehensive, cooperative and continuing (3-C) process.
