State of the Metropolitan Planning Organization

TYLER — On Wednesday, the Tyler City Council heard a presentation on recent work performed by the Tyler Area Metropolitan Planning Organization. The MPO is a local decision-making body responsible for overseeing the transportation planning process. In March 2019, the MPO adopted the Active Tyler plan to create a vision for a pedestrian and bicycle network connecting major destinations in the region.

The plan has already been used to support grant applications for six bicycle and pedestrian expansion projects by various local stakeholders. Later in the year, the MPO also adopted a new long-range plan for prioritizing forecasted funding for transportation improvements over the next 25 years.
