Memphis Urban Area MPO

Welcome to the official YouTube channel of the Memphis Urban Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO)!

The Memphis Urban Area MPO, created in 1977, is responsible for the transportation policy development, planning, and programming for the counties of Shelby and Fayette, Tennessee, and DeSoto and Marshall Counties, Mississippi.

Using federal regulations for guidance, short and long-term transportation plans that meet community objectives are developed and implemented. A multi-modal planning approach is used to assure a vibrant and growing system of roads, rail, transit systems, pedestrian/bicycle trails, airports and waterways.
