| Memphis Urban Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) |
The MPO is the forum for cooperative transportation decision making for the metropolitan planning area. The MPO members are representatives of the local units of government. An MPO is required in each urbanized area having a population of over 50,000. There are currently 340 MPOs in the United States. These MPOs, in cooperation with states, transit operators, local municipalities, counties, and other key transportation entities in the metropolitan area carry out the planning process. These same agencies, under the coordination of the MPO, also cooperatively develop the annual Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP), the 3-year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) and the Long Range Transporation Plan (LRTP).
