摘要：	The element of local input is important in statewide transportation planning. The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) developed a process to use the regional planning organizations (RPO) to determine which transportation needs and values are most important to the regions and the state. The department chose the regional planning organizations because they geographically covered the state, were knowledgeable about planning activities, had experience in working with federal programs, and had the desire to be involved in the transportation planning process. The initial activities began in 1993. Each RPO was required to appoint a transportation advisory committee that was composed of local officials and citizens, gather general transportation comments, and work actively with MoDOT. The success of the activities in the initial phase led to expanded RPO planning activities in 1995. The expanded process directed each RPO to develop an annual transportation work program that identified specific transportation planning activities they would conduct for the department. The additional items included an evaluation process of transportation needs, a public involvement process, development of regional data, and professional staff development. The program has been successful in providing transportation information that can be used in the MoDOT decision-making process. The program will be continued in the upcoming years to assist the department with updates to the long-range transportation plan and the selection of projects to meet those transportation needs.
