Abstract: The Metropolitan and Statewide and Nonmetropolitan Transportation Planning programs provides funding and procedural requirements for multimodal transportation planning in metropolitan areas and states that is cooperative, continuous, and comprehensive, resulting in long-range plans and short-range programs of transportation investment priorities. The planning programs are jointly administered by FTA and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), which provides additional funding. This submission is associated with a request for a revision of a currently approved information collection and the publication of a Final Rule on May 27, 2016 Vol. 81 No. 103, that requires metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) and State Departments of Transportation (DOTs) to implement performance-based planning and programming, and reference performance measures and targets within the Metropolitan Transportation Plans, Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Programs, Long Range Statewide Transportation Plans, and Statewide Transportation Improvement Programs.
