URBAN BOUNDARY CHANGE
PUBLIC NOTICE
2025 “DRAFT” ROADWAY FUNCTIONAL CLASSIFICATIONS and
URBAN BOUNDARY CHANGE
The Bonneville Metropolitan Planning Organization (BMPO) is an agency designated by the Governor of Idaho to conduct a continuing, comprehensive, and cooperative transportation planning process in the urbanized area under the direction of elected officials for the Cities of Ammon, Idaho Falls, Iona, Ucon, and the urbanized portions of Bonneville County, Greater Idaho Falls Transit (GIFT), in conjunction with the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD). Under the requirements of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWY) and Federal Transit Administration (FTA), BMPO has the responsibility to provide the FHWY with the existing Roadway Functional Classification and Urban Boundary Changes.
2025 Draft Roadway Functional Classification defines the functionality of the existing roads within the BMPO urban area. This review and modification are the required process of FHWY that discourages classification from being based on financial considerations. Local context is important in determining final classification and designates those eligible for federal funding. The class is based on current use, not future use.
Urban Boundary Change is proposed (see map on website) to include area on the southeast portion of the BMPO planning area. This change will help define the roadway within the urban planning area.
This public involvement notices for the “Draft” 2025 Roadway Functional Classifications and Urban Boundary Change satisfied the Federal Highway Administration requirements. If no changes are made to the “Draft” the classifications will be approved without further public notification.
A complete list and maps of the 2025 DRAFT ROADWAY FUNCTIONAL CLASSIFICATIONS and URBAN BOUNDARY CHANGES can be found on the

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.
