Purpose:

The Lebanon County Metropolitan Planning Organization (LEBCO MPO) has been established to conduct a continuing, comprehensive and cooperative process for transportation planning, programming and decision-making.

Activities to be undertaken include developing a unified planning work program, preparing a long range transportation plan, approving a short range program (Transportation Improvement Program), carrying out an effective public involvement process, collecting and analyzing data, conducting needs and feasibility studies, and more.

Committees:

As an MPO, Lebanon County is required to have two committees at a minimum, a Policy Board and a Technical Planning Committee. Over time, the county may choose to establish other committees to enhance its operations. Examples of other committees include a citizens committee, a goods movement committee, and a congestion management system committee.
