Welcome
Welcome to the Morgantown Monongalia Metropolitan Planning Organization (MMMPO) website! We are a transportation planning organization dedicated to improving the region's transportation system. We invite you to explore our website to learn more about the MPO and our transportation planning efforts. Our MPO is responsible for producing two important planning documents: Metropolitan Transportation Plan and Transportation Improvement Program.
Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP). The MPO develops and updates MTP to include projects that reflect the transportation facility needs in the community.
Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). TIP is a comprehensive four-year regional spending plan for near-term transportation projects, programs, and investment priorities. See the TIP Project Map here.

As part of planned improvements to Greenbag Road, the WVDOH will widen the roadway, add sidewalks, and install roundabouts at two underperforming intersections. Unfortunately, this project will displace an existing community garden that serves local residents. In response, the City of Morgantown and the MMMPO are collaborating to support new community garden projects. The WVDOH has allocated $14,600 to be distributed among at least three (3) community organizations, public consortiums (such as HOAs or similar groups), or other eligible applicants. Smaller grant requests are also encouraged, allowing for the potential creation of more than three gardens. To date, two organizations have been awarded a total of $10,000, leaving $4,600 in available funding.

These events provide an opportunity for the public to learn about proposed projects, voice their concerns, and provide suggestions to improve the transportation system. By holding these events, MPOs can ensure that the transportation plans and projects reflect the needs and priorities of the local community.
In addition, the MPO collaborates with the WV Division of Highways and Mountain Line Transit Authority to advertise public events on transportation projects and plans.
