Status of the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO)
The US Census Bureau released the 2020 Census Qualifying Urban Areas on December 29th and Traverse City - Garfield has a population of 56,890 which meets the 50,000 population threshold to be considered to become an MPO. Networks Northwest and TTCI continuously work with MDOT regarding this designation and this website will be updated accordingly.

MPO Frequently Asked Questions
Our Township greatly benefits from Network Northwest's experience, depth of knowledge and understanding. Because they work with so many diverse communities in our ten-county region they understand the local land-use issues and are already working on solutions by the time we realize we need some help.
