Let’s reduce match requirements & allow carryover of funds—because rural & distressed communities deserve meaningful access to infrastructure investment.
These updates would unlock funding flexibility and help small and rural communities move projects forward. #InfrastructureWeek

The Vision is Zero and the Safe System Approach is how we get there. I think we all agree on those points, but how do we start using the Safe System Approach as a new way of doing business?

Join us next week for our Safety Interest Group webinar: https://t.co/v9Y9DpaV8z

Let’s close the knowledge gap. Investing in infrastructure means investing in understanding the systems that shape it. #InfrastructureWeek #MPO

It’s Infrastructure Week 2025 — and we’re shining a light on something that doesn’t get enough attention: Education.

[Association of Metropolitan Planning Organizations @Assoc_MPOs]

MPOs are federally mandated and critical to our transportation systems — but how many staff working on infrastructure even know what we do?

[Association of Metropolitan Planning Organizations @Assoc_MPOs]

Good infrastructure starts with strong planning. MPOs are the engine, with planning as step #1, that drives project execution. Let's ensure they have the resources they need to keep our regions moving forward.

Kicking off #infrastructureweek with a business roundtable featuring @SenCapito

[Association of Metropolitan Planning Organizations @Assoc_MPOs]

It’s #InfrastructureWeek! 🛠️

Reminder: #MPOs are key to strong regions — we know the local priorities, and we know the local leaders.
Federal plans don’t work without local knowledge.

That’s where MPOs shine. 🌆🤝

🚧 It's #InfrastructureWeek! We’re highlighting how MPOs bring federal infrastructure investments to life. Through planning, convening, and coordination, MPOs translate local priorities and national goals into regional progress.

[Association of Metropolitan Planning Organizations @Assoc_MPOs]

AMPO supports stronger MPOs through more planning funds, flexible match rules, & stable federal investment. Follow along with us this week as we plan smarter, together. #MPOs
