MPOJC Organization
The Metropolitan Planning Organization of Johnson County (MPOJC) is the county-wide planning organization for Johnson County, Iowa. Assistance is provided to MPOJC member agencies in transportation planning (data collection analysis, project planning & programming, review of public and private development proposals, transit planning & programming, and bicycle and pedestrian planning), land use planning, and grant application preparation and administration. Besides these program areas, MPOJC is also a forum for discussion of any county-wide planning issue. In past years this has included establishment of a regional fire protection mutual aid agreement, a joint animal control facility, and discussion of the silurian aquifer in Johnson County.
