Mission
The Transit Interest Group brings together MPOs to discuss their roles in planning and coordination related to public transportation.
Goals
The purpose of this interest group is to provide a forum for MPO staff to share practices, information, and resources as well as identify needs and gaps. Focus areas to be addressed include, but are not limited to:
- Regional transit planning and the role that MPOs play in it;
- Funding transit capital projects and operations;
- Connecting transit with active transportation, microtransit, and other roadway projects to promote safe and easy movement among modes;
- The unique benefits and challenges of working with FTA funding;
- Communicating and sharing best practices, guidance, resources, and activities with other AMPO committees and at AMPO events, as appropriate.
