Richmond Regional Transportation Planning Organization

Richmond Regional Transportation Planning Organization The regional agency designated by USDOT and the Commonwealth of Virginia as the forum for transportation decision-making for the Richmond Region.

The Richmond Regional Transportation Planning Organization is the federally-designated forum for regional transportation decision-making and funds-allocating. The regional agency is responsible for planning and programming for regional transportation projects. The organization’s board includes elected officials from the Richmond Region’s nine local jurisdictions as well as officials from regional,

state, and federal transportation agencies. On October 2, 2014, the policy board of the Richmond Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (RAMPO) voted to change the organization's name to operate as the Richmond Regional Transportation Planning Organization (RRTPO). The vote was included in amendments to the organizations bylaws to better reflect the organization’s long-standing mission as the federally-designated forum for regional transportation decision-making, planning, and programming. Operating as the RRTPO will provide clarity on the organization’s role in funding transportation projects in the Region. The agency has allocated $23 million for regional transportation projects in 2014 and $140 million for 2015-2020. It also reviews all federally-funded projects in the Richmond Region in coordination with the Virginia Department of Transportation. The RAMPO is comprised of the City of Richmond, Town of Ashland, and all or part of the Counties of Charles City, Chesterfield, Goochland, Hanover, Henrico, New Kent, and Powhatan. The RRTPO is the only transportation organization in the Richmond Region that includes elected officials from all nine of the region’s localities.
