MPO Major Thoroughfare Plan

The purpose of the proposed MPO Major T-Plan is to provide a safe, convenient, and efficient regional transportation network that is adequate to serve local and regional transportation needs. The regional plan establishes the framework for the acquisition, preservation, and protection of existing and future rights-of-way from building encroachment.  The MPO adopted the Major T-Plan in September 2010.  After working with the public and stakeholders on an alternative for the Northeast Farmington area to determine how the proposed Northern Route will connect into this part of Farmington, the Policy Committee amended the MPO Major T-Plan on July 27, 2011.

Road Network Inventory

The road network inventory was created to make one database of all of the significant roads in the MPO.  This includes all roads where traffic counts are conducted plus any roads with functional classifications that are "collector" and above.

MPO Socioeconomic Data

During the development of the Metropolitan Transportation Plan, the MPO gathered socioeconomic data that was used to determine base year and projected future population and employment figures.  Using defined trip rates and the socioeconomic data, the MPO maintains a regional travel model that estimates future traffic volumes. The entire MPO is divided into traffic analysis zones (TAZ), which are geographic areas characterized by similar land uses.  The TAZs distribute the trips generated by the socioeconomic data into the road network.
