CRTPO - Charlotte Regional Transportation Planning Organization

The CRTPO is the federally designated Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for the Charlotte urban area. It is the CRTPO’s responsibility to coordinate transportation policy for local jurisdictions within its planning area. In coordination with the State, the CRTPO assists in identifying projects and programs to meet community needs and improve the quality of life and economic outcomes for all residents. The CRTPO planning area includes 24 member jurisdictions in Iredell, Mecklenburg, and Union Counties as well as representatives from the Metropolitan Transit Commission (MTC) and North Carolina Board of Transportation (NCBOT) Divisions 10 and 12. The CRTPO works with these jurisdictions, and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), and local transit providers to develop plans for all modes of transportation, prioritize mobility needs, and allocate federal funds equitably within its planning area.
