REGIONAL MOBILITY PLAN

Need for Plan
• Traditional funding won’t address needs, and current plans don’t identify all regional needs.
• Competition for additional funding is tough without a single documented plan supported by all.
• RGV is at a disadvantage without one.
• There is a perception that the RGV is not united in regional priorities.

Advantages of a Regional Mobility Plan:
• Provides a single plan covering the entire region.
• Focuses on regional needs.
• Is needs based (not financially constrained).
• Supports local delegations in pursuing additional funding.
• Documents valley-wide support of regional priorities.
• Builds on previous success of past RMPs.

Merging of the Three Valley MPOs
REGIONAL RIO GRANDE VALLEY MPO
![Page 12: Footer Text Date PHARR DISTRICT Planning Efforts & Significant Projects November 20, 2014](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649ca25503460f949614a3/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Footer Text DateMerging of the Three Valley MPOs
Reasons for TxDOT Initiative:• Region will have ONE voice, providing a much greater opportunity for funding regional-type projects (i.e. FM 1925).
• Single regional MPO for the Valley would have almost 1.1 million people in the urbanized area and rank as the fifth largest in the state by population, following D-FW, Houston, San Antonio, and Austin.
• TxDOT Commission and Administration have urged local officials in the past to consider merging the MPOs, most notably at the 9/26/2013 TxDOT Commission meeting held in McAllen.
Space X, 2nd Access, Mazatlan-Matamoros Mexican Superhighway, Mexican oil/gas privatization, UT-RGV, Interstates.
• A single regional MPO would be able to identify regional-type projects needed to address the following major developments:
• One set of planning documents, (TIP, MTP, etc.) for the region instead of three separate ones.
