Title: Metropolitan Planning Organization Coordination and Planning Area Reform | |
Abstract:
This rulemaking would revise the transportation planning regulations by removing the provisions requiring that boundaries of metropolitan planning areas (MPA) include an urbanized area in its entirety and include the contiguous area expected to become urbanized within a 20-year forecast period for the metropolitan transportation plan. This rulemaking would also remove requirements for metropolitan planning organizations (MPO) to merge, create unified transportation planning products, or petition the Secretary for an exemption when there is more than one MPO in an MPA. These provisions were repealed by statute on May 12, 2017 (Pub. L. 115-33, 131 Stat. 845. This rulemaking would remove the language from the CFR. This repeal would result in cost savings and reduce burdens for regulatory compliance. |
