Boston Region Metropolitan Planning Organization

The Boston Region Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) is a government organization based in Boston, Massachusetts. The organization employs 53 people and generates approximately $50 million in revenue. The Boston Region MPO is responsible for overseeing the metropolitan transportation planning process for the Boston metropolitan area. This includes developing a vision for the region's transportation future and allocating federal and state transportation funds to various projects, such as roadway, transit, bicycle, and pedestrian initiatives. The organization's staff, the Central Transportation Planning Staff (CTPS), was established in 1974 to provide expertise in comprehensive, multimodal transportation planning and analysis. CTPS fosters interagency cooperation, ensures consistency in planning efforts, minimizes redundancy, and addresses any gaps in the capabilities of MPO members, ultimately enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of member agencies' work.
