Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs). As a result, interest continues to
grow among members of the TIM community where an MPO is not currently involved.

role in administering a TIM program? What benefits does an MPO provide? How is
it decided if an MPO should be
involved?
Topics in
this article include an overview of the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission’s

Guidelines, training information, DVRPC’s role and tips for success for MPOs,
funding opportunities, and several resources.
