High Capacity Roadway Study
The Comment Period Has Ended
"The High Capacity Roadway Study is a planning effort intended to help the Cities and County preserve right-of-way for facilities that will serve long-term (25+ year) traffic needs. Proposed expressway corridors from the study are conceptual and subject to change under future schematic design efforts, which will include robust public input. None of the potential property impacts shown in the current study are determined, and the timeline for the proposed expressway is highly dependent on continuation of existing development growth trends. This effort is the first step in establishing right-of-way preservation for a new corridor, not right-of-way acquisition."

With your help we can improve our cities’ transportation.

What is the BMPO?
The Bonneville Metropolitan Planning Organization (BMPO) is a federally mandated and funded transportation policy-making organization in Bonneville County.
MPOs were introduced by the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1962 for urbanized areas with a population greater than 50,000. The whole purpose of an MPO is to ensure regional cooperation in transportation planning. This has a lot to do with the public roads and streets that we all use everyday, but extends into pedestrian pathways, bike paths, busses, trains, etc.
Because it is our job to help ensure quality transportation planning, we have redesigned our logo to reflect our efforts in these areas. Below you will find the icons that make up our logo and what they represent.
