The Commission
We are the federally certified Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) & Local Development District (LDD), and Economic Development District (EDD) serving the 10 county region in Southwestern Pennsylvania. Our region includes: Allegheny including the City of Pittsburgh, Armstrong, Beaver, Butler, Fayette, Greene, Indiana, Lawrence, Washington and Westmoreland counties.
Our mission is to help direct the use of state and federal transportation and economic development funds allocated to the region—approximately $35 billion through 2045. We work closely with counties, cities, municipalities, and townships access this funding and support them with their planning needs.
Our Commission members meet on the last Monday every other month for a total of six times per calendar year. Members serve multi-year terms and may be reappointed. The chair and vice-chair, elected by voting Commission members, serve two-year terms.
