- Established through federal legislation, MPOs exist throughout the United States in urbanized areas of more than 50,000 people. Each MPO is comprised of representatives from city and county governments, their respective state Department of Transportation (DOT), the Federal Highway Administration and the Federal Transit Administration of the United States DOT, and other local or regional transportation-related agencies such as transit authorities and airports. It is through MPOs that local communities prioritize state and federal funds for various transportation projects and programs. 385 MPOs
- Physical Health 70% of Heart Attacks related to commute Relationships 40% of divorces, one spouse has a long commute This chart shows a similar trend in the national increases in Vehicle Miles Traveled or number of miles we are driving, and the increase in obesity. When I charted this Additional data â such as the number of heart attacks related to a commute, or the number of divorces that involved a spouse with a long commute. data recently I was quite shocked at similarities. The purple line is adult obesity since 1962 and the green is the miles driven. This chart illustrates why the Nashville MPO believes that transportation projects should be held accountable for impacts on personal health, must like projects are already held accountable for impacts on air quality and environment health. Mention David Bassett data.

- To find out about local attitudes, we conducted a random sample 10-county survey with 1,100 responses asking residents how they would like to spend transportation dollars -- the answers were to prioritize mass transit first, make communities more walkable and bikeable, and build new roads as the last choice, demonstrating that people want alternatives to driving.
- Would have loved to have had better data for this.
