The Charlotte Regional Transportation Planning Organization (CRTPO) is the federally designated Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for the Charlotte Urbanized Area. Federal legislation requires Urbanized Areas with populations larger than 50,000 to have an MPO, whose primary function is to carry out the transportation planning process among the member jurisdictions within its established planning area boundary. Due to the growth of the Charlotte Urbanized Area, and the subsequent expansion of the MPO planning area boundary, the CRTPO was established in place of the former Mecklenburg-Union MPO.
At the February 14, 2023 Strategic Council meeting, CRTPO and NCDOT provided updates on area projects. The PowerPoint presentations can be found below and you can also view the presentation using this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcvXoz4D4Ns. The presentation starts at minute 11:15.
