MPO Boundary
The Mat-Su Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) operates within the Mat-Su Metropolitan Planning Area (MPA), which defines the boundary for all transportation planning activities.
About the MPA
The MPA encompasses the Mat-Su Valley’s urbanized and surrounding areas, expected to experience growth over the next 20 years. It serves as the geographic focus for regional transportation planning, coordination, and funding.
In essence, the MPO boundary is the MPA, ensuring all transportation plans, projects, and engagement efforts align with the Valley’s needs and priorities.
