About Us
Tri-Lakes Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO)
A Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) is a transportation policy-making agency made up of representatives from local government and transportation authorities. An MPO was established for the Hot Springs Urbanized Area in 2003 by the governor of Arkansas. Through this designation of the Hot Springs Area Transportation Study (HSATS), the MPO, exists today as the Tri-Lakes (TLMPO), renamed in 2013. The MPO is supported by an 11 member Policy Board and a 15-member Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), as well as MPO staff. The Policy Board relies on the TAC and staff for analysis and recommendations regarding transportation policy options but reserves the right to make the final determination..
