RPO Models

The rural planning organization (RPO) work programs and contracts between state departments of transportation and RPOs that are available below serve as a useful resource for regional organizations that are just beginning their involvement in rural transportation planning as well as established RPOs.

For a national overview of the how states use RPOs in the rural consultation process for statewide transportation planning, see the NADO Research Foundation 2005 report Transportation Planning in Rural America: Emerging Models for Local Consultation, Regional Coordination and Rural Planning Organizations (PDF).
