The
Johnson
City Metropolitan Transportation Planning Organization (MTPO) serves
as a regional transportation planning and coordination agency for
the Johnson City Urbanized Area. This area includes Elizabethton,
Jonesborough, Johnson City and part of the Town of Unicoi, as well
as the urbanized* areas of Carter and Washington Counties. It should
be noted the Urbanized Area is defined by the U.S. Census Bureau.
The MTPO is charged with the “Continuing, Cooperative and
Comprehensive” (3Cs) planning process for transportation.
This process requires MTPO to work directly with local, state, and
federal agencies and the general public to develop and administer
a wide range of transportation program activities. Listed below
are some of the major work areas of the MTPO.
