Regional Planning Committee

Mountainland Association of Governments (MAG) is the designated Metropolitan Planning Organization for the Utah County Urbanized Area, otherwise known as the Mountainland Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO). The MAG Regional Planning Committee is the MPO board and is made up of an elected representative from each municipality in Utah County, Utah County Commissioners, Utah Transportation Commissioner, Utah Transit Authority and Utah Air Quality board member. The Mountainland Regional Planning Committee was established to supervise all transportation planning and air quality matters for Utah County.

The MPO is the forum for cooperative transportation decision-making and is responsible, together with the state, for conducting the continuing, cooperative, and comprehensive planning process, known as the 3-C planning process. The transportation planning activities by the MPO include highway/road, bicycle/pedestrian, transit planning, traffic modeling, air quality, public participation, the linking of transportation and land use, and other governmental coordination.

The Regional Planning Committee reviews and approves the Work Program, the
MPO’s Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP), Transportation Improvement
Program (TIP), air quality policy, and all other urban transportation plans and
programs for the metropolitan area. They also direct the regional planning staff
functions. The Federal Highway Administration, Utah County Legislative
Delegation, and Utah Motor Carriers Association are invited to participate at
meetings. The public is also welcomed.
The committee meets on the first Thursday of the month.
