Abstract:
This report documents rural planning organization (RPO) workshops conducted throughout Texas. An RPO is a voluntary organization created and governed by locally elected officials responsible for transportation decisions at the local level. RPOs address rural transportation planning priorities and provide recommendations to TxDOT for areas outside the boundaries of a metropolitan planning organization (MPO). More than 145 community leaders participated in the workshops, including county judges, county commissioners, and mayors and representatives from TxDOT Districts, cities, MPOs, and councils of government.

Since the RPO project was initiated, the number of RPOs in Texas has grown from four to 14. Additional RPOs are expected to organize and form in the next few years. The RPO workshops involved both new and existing RPOs throughout Texas.
