The Southwestern Pennsylvania Commission is a government-backed regional planning organization serving ten southwestern Pennsylvania counties, including the City of Pittsburgh. It acts as the federally designated Metropolitan Planning Organization, Local Development District, and Economic Development District for the region, coordinating transportation planning through long-range and project-specific plans and aligning efforts across local, state, and federal agencies as well as non-profit and community groups. In addition to transportation planning, the organization collaborates on economic development initiatives such as loan programs, government procurement assistance, and export support to help local companies expand their business. Based in Pittsburgh, the commission supports a broad regional mission by connecting planning and development activities to facilitate safer, more efficient movement and growth across the 10-county area. Recent activity highlights include partnerships to advance Vision Zero and efforts recognized by federal development programs that position the region for continued planning and development work.
