Background
The MPO Institute, the newest program of the AMPO Research Foundation (AMPORF), supports the evolving role of MPOs, addresses the need for MPO-centric training, and provides content to tackle the challenges posed by retirements and staff retention. The Institute serves as a unique national training where courses are developed in coordination with MPO practitioners to ensure courses cover not just requirements, but also real-life practice.
Launched on July 1, 2024, the Institute began with three foundational courses: New and Graduated MPOs, MPO 101, and Federal Funding. The Institute is interested in continuing to create courses as well as maintaining the current courses available.
Scope and Deliverables
The project involves creating a new course focused on a deep dive into Metropolitan Transportation Plans (MTPs) and ongoing support and updates to existing courses.
