Boston Region Metropolitan Planning Organization


The Boston Region Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) is a cooperative board of 14 voting members and 3 nonvoting members. The current member entities and the person representing each on the MPO are:

  • MBTA Advisory Board

    Paul Regan, Executive Director
  • City of Newton

    Setti Warren, Mayor

While the majority of the entities listed above sit permanently on the MPO, cities and towns (with the exception of Boston) hold three-year terms, staggered so that one city and one town are elected to the MPO each year. The MPO’s regional-agency members, the MBTA Advisory Board and MAPC, conduct the elections annually for the MPO. For more information about the MPO election process, please refer to the MPO Election Process page.
