Who We Are:
The South Jersey Transportation Planning Organization (SJTPO) is a Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for the southern New Jersey region.  Formed in mid-1993, the SJTPO replaced three smaller, existing MPOs while incorporating other areas not previously served.  Covering Atlantic, Cape May, Cumberland, and Salem counties, the SJTPO works to provide a regional approach to solving transportation problems.

Transportation planning and decison-making for urbanized areas is carried out through MPOs.  Traditionally, MPOs synchronize the planning actions of participating agencies in the region and provide a forum for decision-making among officials, operators, and the public.
