Greater Madison MPO Coordination Hub
The Greater Madison Metropolitan Planning Organization coordinates regional transportation planning across the Madison area, connecting roadway, transit, bicycle, pedestrian, land use, funding, and sustainability priorities.
Why the Greater Madison MPO matters
The Greater Madison MPO appears across multiple Madison ecosystem maps because transportation decisions connect local streets, regional commuting patterns, federal funding programs, land use, housing access, climate strategy, and cross-municipal infrastructure planning.
Systems connected through the Greater Madison MPO
Active transportation
The MPO helps coordinate bicycle, pedestrian, roadway, and multimodal transportation planning across municipal boundaries.
Regional transportation funding
The MPO connects local and regional transportation priorities to federally required planning processes and investment programs.
Transit and mobility
Regional transportation planning shapes how transit, commuting, and multimodal systems connect people across the Madison area.
Land use and housing access
Transportation planning influences how housing, jobs, services, and daily destinations are connected across the region.
Coordination role
The Greater Madison MPO functions as a regional transportation planning connector. Its value lies in linking mobility decisions that are often made by separate jurisdictions, agencies, funding programs, and implementation partners.
