The Amarillo Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) is a
federally mandated administrative agency responsible for
coordination of the highway, transit, and land use planning
process necessary to receive federal funds for highway and
transit improvements. The purpose of the MPO is to provide local
citizens and elected officials the opportunity to be involved in
the transportation planning process. The Amarillo MPO consists
of a Policy Committee, a Technical Committee, and the
MPO staff. The MPO serves the city of Amarillo, parts of Potter
and Randall Counties, and the Texas Department of Transportation
Amarillo District. The MPO study area is comprised of nearly 360
square miles in the Texas Panhandle.
We all depend upon some form of transportation for the movement
of goods, services, or people. We invite you to visit our
website and to take an interest in transportation and how it
impacts your daily routine. Your input into the transportation
planning process is our first means of providing you with a
dependable transportation system. Let us hear your comments and
concerns.
Thank you.
