Transportation

CAPCOG supports the Capital Area Regional Transportation Planning Organization (CARTPO), a group of elected officials representing each county brought together to discuss rural transportation issues. CAPCOG helps the regional group to identify and prioritize transportation needs throughout the region, share information across jurisdictions, and consolidate regional transportation advocacy efforts.

CAPCOG also aids in soliciting TxDOT funding opportunities and helps local jurisdictions coordinate applications to such programs. CAPCOG has paired its economic development planning expertise to draft Transportation and Economic Development Plans for several counties in the region. Such plans can be found on the Reports & Plans page.

In addition, it supports the Commute Solutions program, a multi-agency, regionally coordinated initiative to reduce the number of single-occupancy motor vehicles on roadways.
