SUBJECT:Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) Designation - update on the MPO
designation process and approval of MPO Working Group
MEETING DATE:January 25, 2023
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:Citizen Advisory Board/Commission

BACKGROUND:The US Census Bureau has released the official list of Urban Areas from the
2020 Census. The list and additional information regarding Urban
designation can be found here: https://www.census.gov/programs-
surveys/geography/guidance/geo-areas/urban-rural.html Based on the
official designation that the Bozeman Urban area has exceeded the 50,000
person threshold, MDT has begun the process of Metropolitan Planning
Organization (MPO) designation. Designation is an administrative process
led by MDT, in coordination with the local entities, to have the Governor
formally designate the MPO. Once designation by the governor has taken
place, the local entities begin the process, with guidance from MDT, of MPO
Formation.
Committee Representatives that have been involved with initial MPO
meetings will provide additional information and updates on the designation
process to date. The Committee will vote on approval of the Working Group
as the official body to coordinate with MDT on the designation process.
