Synthesis of Information Related to Highway Practices. Topic 54-05. Practices for Statewide and MPO Coordination

The objective of this synthesis was to document current state departments of transportation practices related to coordinating planning and programming requirements with metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs), as well as any common challenges with fulfilling regulatory requirements. Federal transportation legislation requires formalized coordination between state departments of transportation (DOTs) and metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) in transportation planning and programming processes. DOTs have varying practices in implementing the 3C planning process (continuing, comprehensive, and cooperative) with their MPO partners.  This synthesis gathered information through a literature review, a survey of DOTs, and follow-up interviews with selected DOTs. Five case examples provide additional information on practices for state DOT and MPO coordination in planning and programming.
