What does the Central Lane MPO do?

The Central Lane MPO serves as the forum for cooperative transportation decision making for the Eugene-Springfield metropolitan area and Coburg. The MPO channels federal funding for transportation projects and programs through a sound planning process that is comprehensive, cooperative, and continuing. There are five core functions of an MPO:

1. Establish a fair and impartial setting for regional decision making.

2. Evaluate transportation alternatives.

3. Maintain a long-range transportation plan covering a 20 year planning horizon.

4. Develop a 3-5 year Transportation Improvement Program and Prioritize Projects.

5. Involve the public.
