The Metropolitan Transportation Board (MTB) sets policy for transportation issues in the urban area. Elected officials from the different jurisdictions sit together on the MTB. The Board coordinates local government transportation planning and project development, identifies federal funding for transportation projects, including roadway widenings and extensions, sets policy for roadway access, identifies corridors and alignments for new roadways, identifies bicycle facilities and federal funding for them, and makes decisions about long-range issues such as light rail proposals.

 Presentation to the MTB on 5-21-10

This presentation focuses on projected growth in our region and was presented in order to set the backdrop for discussions on how to accommodate anticipated growth in our region in terms of transportation planning and decision-making. The source for the county level population projections is the Bureau of Business and Economic Research at the University of New Mexico (BBER). A final small area 2035 forecast will be available in the Spring of 2011.
