Public Policy OfficesTexas, United States11-50 Employees

The Alamo Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) is an independent public policy entity that coordinates urban transportation planning and the allocation of federal transportation funds for the San Antonio region. Its work centers on developing plans and programs that support safe and efficient movement of people and goods, with a focus on offering diverse transportation options and ensuring robust public involvement in the planning process. Operating within the public policy arena, the MPO aligns transportation initiatives with broader regional economic, social, and environmental objectives. Based in San Antonio, Texas, the organization serves the greater area and governs funding decisions through its Transportation Policy Board.

As a metropolitan planning organization, it serves communities within the region that exceed population thresholds for MPO designation, and it operates as a standalone agency rather than being embedded in a city, county, or council of governments. The MPO emphasizes 3C transportation planning—conducted with collaboration among local, state, and federal officials—to provide continuous, coordinated, and comprehensive planning. A recent development includes continued engagement with state transportation projects, reflecting its role in directing regional transportation priorities.
