About the MPOAC
Mission
The Florida Metropolitan Planning Organization Advisory Council (MPOAC) improves transportation planning and education by engaging and equipping its members to deliver results through shared innovations, best practices, enhanced coordination, communication, and advocacy.
MPOAC
The Florida Metropolitan Planning Organization Advisory Council is a statewide transportation planning and policy organization created by the Florida Legislature under Section 339.175(12), Florida Statutes, to augment the role of individual MPOs in the cooperative transportation planning process. The MPOAC assists MPOs in carrying out the urbanized area transportation planning process by serving as the principal forum for collective policy discussion.
The MPOAC is made up of a Governing Board (27 members) consisting of local elected officials from each of the MPOs and a Staff Directors’ Advisory Committee consisting of the staff directors from each of the MPOs. The MPOAC also includes a Policy and Technical Subcommittee, a Freight and Rail Committee, and other committees as assigned by the Governing Board.
National and Statewide Coordination
The MPOAC actively participates in the Association of Metropolitan Planning Organizations (AMPO) and the National Association of Regional Councils (NARC) in Washington, DC, and collaborates with statewide partners, including TEAMFlorida, the Florida Public Transportation Association (FPTA), Floridians for Better Transportation (FBT), and ITS Florida, to inform state and national policy on metropolitan transportation issues.
