Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP)

The MPO is currently updating its 2035 long-range Metropolitan Transportation plan, and we are asking for your help!

Getting the Public Involved

To date, the MPO has:

1. Assembled a Key Stakeholders Group to help guide the MTP update process.  At the first meeting, participants learned about the development of the 2035 Metropolitan Transportation Plan, the scenario planning/community visioning process, and how they will help “spread the word” about the MPO’s planning process.
2. Conducted an On-line Community Survey. We welcome you to view the results .
3. Conducted a Community Visioning/Scenario Planning Public Workshop.  We welcome you to view the meeting summary.
4. Conducted a second community workshop to solicit input on a preferred development scenario. The input received from this workshop was then discussed at our second meeting of our Key Stakeholders Group. Based upon these two meetings, we have generated a preferred development scenario.
   Please visit the summary of these meetings. In addition, we have updated the map of our preferrred development scenario.
5. Conducted a series of thematic roundtable discussions on the following
   topics: Freight and Goods Movement, Community Services, Economic and Community Development, and Multi-modal Transportation. In addition, we held a wrap-up discussion with members of our Key Stakeholder Group. A summary of these roundtable discussions can be found here.
6. During the last week of May, the MPO will participate in a series of joint meeting with entities from the Cities of Midland and Odessa:
   * Joint Planning and Zoning Commissions Meeting (Tuesday, May 26 at 8:30 am at the MOTOR MPO Conference Room)
