Residents can review the agenda on the Tyler Area MPO website. Residents can contact the MPO through the department's online contact form or by calling (903) 531-7171.
The MTP is a long-range transportation plan that lists all projects in the MPO boundary that will utilize federal transportation funds. The plan forecasts revenue over a 25-year planning period and prioritizes which projects should be constructed based on the forecasted funding available. It also describes the stakeholder and public engagement process that was used to ensure the prioritization list matches the community's priorities for meeting future transportation needs. The MTP is updated every five years.
The Tyler Area MPO coordinates transportation planning for the greater Smith County area. The MPO is guided by a Transportation Policy Committee that includes representatives from Smith County, Tyler, surrounding cities, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) and the Northeast Texas Regional Mobility Authority (NET RMA).
