Every four years, the North Florida TPO undergoes a certification process to ensure we’re meeting federal requirements. The USDOT conducted the last North Florida TPO certification review May 2020. The next review scheduled is May 2024.
Every four years, the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) must certify that each metropolitan planning organization (MPO) serving a transportation management area (TMA) – a designation by DOT of an urbanized area with a population over 200,000 as defined by the Bureau of the Census or smaller urbanized areas on request by the Governor and MPO – is carrying out the metropolitan planning process in adherence with federal statutes and regulations. FTA and FHWA conduct a review of the metropolitan planning process within each TMA and jointly issue this certification on behalf of the DOT Secretary, in accordance with 49 U.S.C. 5303(k).
The North Florida TPO is the metropolitan planning organization for the northeast Florida transportation management area. Our 2024 certification focuses on the following areas:
