The Metropolitan Planning Organization for the Charlotte Urbanized Area is
officially transitioning to the new Charlotte Regional Transportation Planning
Organization (CRTPO). Formerly, the Mecklenburg-Union MPO (MUMPO),
the new organization has grown in both geography and membership. Please see
the rest of the newsletter for information about CRTPO membership, a link to
its new website and updates on current planning activities.

2040 metrOpOlItaN traNspOrtatION plaN (mtp) UpDateUpdating the MTP is required every four years.
Over the past few months CRTPO staff, in consultation with technical
staff throughout the new MPO planning boundary area, has been
developing a fiscally constrained roadway project list – one of the
significant components of the MTP. A ranking committee was formed,
and using the roadway ranking methodology and revenue assumptions
approved by the MPO board, evaluated more than 270 roadway
candidate projects. The result is a draft fiscally constrained roadway
project list that the MPO agreed to release for public involvement at its
meeting on Wednesday, September 18. The draft project list will be
available for public comment from Thursday, September 19 until Friday,
October 4, and three public meetings are scheduled for further review
and input:

CRTPO Welcomes New Staff Member
Curtis Bridges was recently
hired by the MPO as Principal
Planner, specializing in
Geographic Information
Systems (GIS). Most recently
Curtis worked in Raleigh as a
Transportation Planner for a
consulting firm, but is familiar
with the Charlotte region from
previously having lived and
worked in the area. Curtis will
provide much needed services
and expertise as a member of the
MPO staff.
As a reminder, the State of North Carolina recently passed new transportation
legislation referred to as the Strategic Transportation Investments (STI) – or the
Strategic Mobility Formula (SMF) as it is sometimes called. More information
about the new STI can be found on NCDOT’s website by clicking
