2008 Federal MPO Certification

2008 Federal Certification Review  of the Baltimore Regional Transportation Board
As part of a federal certification process, conducted every four years, the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for the Baltimore Region - the Baltimore Regional Transportation Board (BRTB) held a joint meeting on June 24, 2008 with the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) to enable the public to comment on work done by the MPO.

The review process also included a site visit conducted by representatives from the FHWA and FTA on June 23-25, 2008 to discuss the current status of the MPO's "3-C" planning process.

The BRTB completed a successful federal Certification review in 2008 that determined that the regional process meets federal requirements. This certification is in effect/ until September 3, 2012.
