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.
The Metropolitan Planning Organization of Johnson County will be holding a public hearing on the “FY2020-2023 Transportation Improvement Program” (TIP) for the Iowa City Urbanized Area. The TIP is the programming document for all surface transportation and transit projects that receive state or federal funds, including: street & highway, transit, rail, bicycle, and pedestrian projects in the Iowa City urbanized area.
