What is a metropolitan transportation plan?

Think of it as a roadmap for transportation in the Pocatello-Chubbuck region.

It’s about
more than roads:

An MTP considers
the entire transportation system, including roads and highways, public transportation, bicycling, walking and accessibility, freight and goods movement.

It also considers things like
safety, congestion, population and employment growth, land use, and the environment.

So, what does an
MTP actually do?

Transportation monies
from federal, state, local,
& other sources are limited
&* the MTP helps our region
decide which transportation
needs are most important
and where investments
should be focused.

It identifies projects &
strategies at a regional cooperative level that can improve how people and goods
move throughout the
community, both today
and in the future.

Your
input matters.

The MTP isn’t created in vacuum.

BTPO works very closely with
local governments, transportation agencies,
community organizations, and you to understand what our region needs.

BTPO provides you with a voice in these regional transportation decisions. How the transportation system works impacts your commute, your neighborhood walks, your shopping drives, your recreational opportunities, and more! We want and need to hear from you!
