MPO 101
What is an MPO?
A transportation policy-making organization made up of representatives from local government and transportation authorities
Erie County Regional Planning is the “Handling Agency” for the MPO
Why do we have an MPO?
The Federal Surface Transportation Assistance Act of 1973 required the formation of an MPO for any urbanized area with a population greater than 50,000
What does an MPO do?
The MPO is charged with transportation planning for the MPO planning area (Erie County & the Lorain County portion of the City of Vermilion).
Any project receiving federal funds in the MPO area must be identified on the Transportation Improvement Plan, or the TIP
The MPO manages the TIP.
The ERPC MPO receives just under $1 million each year for projects

What is it?
Active transportation: Active transportation is any form of transit that is
self-propelled.
This could be in the form of biking, using a scooter, roller-skating or one of
many more options!
Active transportation is important to our community because it reduces
the amount of traffic on our roads, helps preserve our environment, and
improves overall health.

Why?
Why focus on active transportation?
The Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) is the
chief transportation planning agency for the
Sandusky Urbanized Area.
The MPO is encouraged by the Ohio Department of
Transportation to promote the use of all forms of
transportation.
The MPO feels that community outreach regarding
these other modes of transportation is important
and beneficial to the community.

The MPO already promotes a form of active
transportation through the Safe Routes to School
(SRTS) program. This program promotes children to
actively travel to and from school in a safe manner
in order to encourage a healthy lifestyle.
The MPO has been active with working with the
community (City of Sandusky, City of Vermilion,
Perkins Township and the Village of Milan) on Safe
Routes to School applications and process.
Active Transportation Month is also held every may
Bicycle and pedestrian advisory committee which
was formed to implement goals of the latest bicycle
and pedestrian plan

"We often forget that the American pattern of
suburban development is an experiment, one that
has never been tried anywhere before. We assume it
is the natural order because it is what we see all
around us. But our own history — let alone a tour of
other parts of the world — reveals a different reality.
Across cultures, over thousands of years, people have
traditionally built places scaled to the individual. It is
only in the last two generations that we have scaled
places to the automobile.“

What is an Active Transportation Plan?
An ATP outlines the vision goals and strategies needed to support increased walking, bicycling and other active modes of transportation.

Active Transportation Plans:
• May be developed at the state, regional or local level
• Identify a combination of p programs, policies and physical improvements needed to ensure safety, comfort and convenience for all types of active transportation
• Sometimes called a Bicycle/Pedestrian or Complete Streets Plan.

Articulating Goals and Objectives – pages 10-13, 34 and Big Post Its
Goals and objectives in an ATP are closely related to our communities goals. On Page 10 of the Guidance, five goal areas often addressed in ATPs are listed with examples. The areas are SAFETY, ACCESS & MOBILITY, LIVABILITY, EQUITY and SUSTAINABILITY. Take a few minutes to review any areas you are unfamiliar with, then grab a pen and write a strategy that relates to each goal on the big post it note. If you agree with someone’s strategy, put a check mark by it. We will review the lists in 15 min.
