Let’s reduce match requirements & allow carryover of funds—because rural & distressed communities deserve meaningful access to infrastructure investment.
These updates would unlock funding flexibility and help small and rural communities move projects forward. #InfrastructureWeek

Day 2 of the AMPO-NARC Joint Fly-In for #InfrastructureWeek is off to a strong start! This morning's roundtable features insights from industry experts Rebecca Higgins (@EnoTrans) and Rob Puentes (@BrookingsInst) as we dive into the future of transportation policy.
It’s Infrastructure Week 2025 — and we’re shining a light on something that doesn’t get enough attention: Education.
MPOs are federally mandated and critical to our transportation systems — but how many staff working on infrastructure even know what we do?
Let’s close the knowledge gap. Investing in infrastructure means investing in understanding the systems that shape it. #InfrastructureWeek #MPO

Good infrastructure starts with strong planning. MPOs are the engine, with planning as step #1, that drives project execution. Let's ensure they have the resources they need to keep our regions moving forward.

It’s #InfrastructureWeek! 🛠️
Reminder: #MPOs are key to strong regions — we know the local priorities, and we know the local leaders.
Federal plans don’t work without local knowledge.
That’s where MPOs shine. 🌆🤝

🚧 It's #InfrastructureWeek! We’re highlighting how MPOs bring federal infrastructure investments to life. Through planning, convening, and coordination, MPOs translate local priorities and national goals into regional progress.
AMPO supports stronger MPOs through more planning funds, flexible match rules, & stable federal investment. Follow along with us this week as we plan smarter, together. #MPOs
These aren’t just technical changes, they’re how we empower communities to deliver meaningful results
