About MPO

Since the late 1960s, Lane Council of Governments (LCOG) has participated in the planning and development of the Eugene-Springfield transportation system. As the designated Metropolitan Planning Organization for the Eugene-Springfield metropolitan area, LCOG is responsible for preparation of the regional transportation plan.

This responsibility includes providing technical modeling of the transportation system to local governments; facilitating the interaction of federal, state, and local agencies dealing with transportation issues; managing the analysis and process for maintaining conformity with federal air quality standards; preparation of financial analysis and project programming; and providing opportunities for public involvement.
