Chippewa-Eau Claire MPO
Authority and Purpose

Authority: The Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) was designated, on November 2, 1982, by the Wisconsin Secretary of Transportation on behalf of the Governor and is organized pursuant to Sections 62.11(5), 60.28(41), 59.97(1), and 16.54(6) of the Wisconsin Statutes.  The MPO also acts as the local policy advisory committee pursuant to Section NR 121.05(1)(g)4.b. of the Wisconsin Administrative Code.

Upcoming Events

Purpose: The purpose of the MPO is to carry out a continuing, cooperative, and comprehensive urban transportation planning process that results in plans and programs consistent with the comprehensively planned development of the Eau Claire Urbanized Area, and thereby satisfies the conditions necessary for the receipt of federal transportation funding for capital, operating, and planning assistance.

The MPO also assists the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources in the development of the municipal point source element of the State's Areawide Water Quality Management Plan and acts in an advisory role to the Department in matters concerning the implementation of the plan.

Administration

The MPO uses the West Central Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission (WCWRPC) as the administrative clearinghouse for all transportation matters, except transit planning.  The WCWRPC coordinates the urban transportation planning process, development of the planning work program, transportation plan, and transportation improvement program.

The urban public transit planning and programming is determined by the Eau Claire Transit Commission.

The MPO also uses the WCWRPC as the administrative clearinghouse for all water quality management matters as provided for in the Wisconsin Administrative Code NR 121.
