Boston Region MPO Certification Review

Boston Region MPO Certification Review

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) will soon be conducting a review of our transportation planning process. They carry out such an evaluation every four years in order to certify our activities as the MPO for the Boston Transportation Management Area. They are particularly interested in hearing from people who have participated in some aspect of our work.

We are inviting you to submit comments or any thoughts you might have based on your observations of how we have undertaken the transportation planning process. Written comments may be sent to either FHWA or FTA at the addresses below. If you submit comments, please indicate the general nature of your involvement or acquaintance with the Boston Region MPO.
