The Transportation Planning Program plays an active role in developing both present and future transportation solutions for the CMRPC region. Responsible for coordinating both short and long term transportation planning activities, CMRPC works with the local communities, where many needs are identified, as well as with the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) seeking to:

  ► Encourage an efficient, economical, and safe multi-modal transportation system
  ► Maintain and improve a coordinated transportation planning process
  ► Minimize the environmental effects of the transportation system while improving air quality 

 CMMPO

The Transportation Planning Program provides the staff for the Central Massachusetts Metropolitan Planning Organization (CMMPO). Bringing together the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT), the Massachusetts Department of Transportation - Highway Division, the Worcester Regional Transit Authority (WRTA), and CMRPC with locally-elected officials, the CMMPO ensures the planning program is federally compliant to receive transportation funds for the region.
