FMPO is responsible for the planning, coordination, and integration of activities necessary to maintain a 3-C multiagency transportation planning program. Jurisdictions that make up the FMPO include the city of Flagstaff, Coconino County, and ADOT. The FMPO receives funding from federal, state, and local governments and, working closely with the state and municipalities that are  within their metropolitan area, oversees the expenditure of federal transit funds. Each year, the MPO evaluates and approves proposed surface transportation improvement projects, and provides a forum for inter-agency cooperation and public input into how transportation funding is spent through collaborative decision making processes.

The Sun Corridor MPO is one of three new MPOs in Arizona. It is located in Pinal County, between the Phoenix and Tucson metropolitan areas. Casa Grande and some of the neighboring communities formed the Sun Corridor MPO to conduct transportation planning for a region south of MAG in a rapidly developing area of Pinal County. Future planning efforts for I-10, I-8, the CANAMEX corridor, and the future North-South Freeway will play a critical role for the SCMPO.

YMPO is the leader for coordinating regional transportation and land-use planning with innovative communication and solutions in Yuma County. The jurisdictions that compose the YMPO are: the cities of Yuma, Somerton, and San Luis; Yuma County; the town of Wellton; Cocopah Indian Tribe; and ADOT. The YMPO planning area also includes the Winterhaven community in Imperial County, California, across the Colorado River from the city of Yuma. Although Winterhaven and the Fort Yuma Indian Reservation (Quechan Tribe) are within the YMPO planning boundaries, they are not members of YMPO’s Technical Advisory Committee or the Executive Board. The YMPO area experiences a major influx of winter visitors (snowbirds) and part-time residents each year. Additionally, YMPO experiences border traffic including visitors, laborers, and freight traffic. These factors create unique challenges for the planning, operation, and maintenance of the transportation system.
