TPO Board
Polk Transportation Planning Organization Board
The TPO board is composed of elected officials and representatives from local government within Polk County.
During the meetings, the Polk Transportation Planning Organization Board undertakes several key activities. They review and approve important planning documents, including the Long Range Transportation Plan and the Transportation Improvement Program. The Board also receives updates on ongoing and upcoming transportation projects, helping to monitor progress and address issues.
Policy and funding decisions are a major focus, with the Board prioritizing projects and allocating federal and state transportation funds. Public input is encouraged through a comment period, allowing the community to share concerns and feedback.
Presentations from TPO staff and experts on traffic studies, safety assessments and planning studies provide essential information. The Polk County Board also directs special projects and studies, such as corridor and transit development plans.
