Transportation is the key...

The roads, rails, paths, and trails we travel from one place to another form the framework of our communities. Metropolitan Planning Organizations (such as the Regional Transportation Council of Southwest Washington and the Portland Metro Council), in coordination with the public, help identify future transportation needs and coordinate highway and transit investments in urbanized areas. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) are responsible for certifying (every 4 years) that the planning processes of the Metropolitan Planning Organizations are consistent with Federal requirements.
