Authority(DART);
TwoentitieswithintheMPA,theCityof
Cumming and Madison County, fall below the
minimum population threshold for full
membership, and are associate Des Moines
Area MPO members. Associate membership
allows a nonvoting representative to
participate actively in the transportation
planning process, and is available to all
governmentswithinthe MPAthatdo not meet
the minimum population threshold for full
membership. Additionally, governments
outside the MPA, but within the eight county
region of central Iowa, are able to petition for
associate membership. The City of Indianola
exceeds the Des Moines Area MPOs minimum
populationthresholdforvotingmembershipbut
isoutsidetheDesMoinesAreaMPOsMPA,and
isanassociatememberoftheMPO.
TheIowaDepartmentofTransportation
(DOT), the Des Moines International Airport
(DSM), the Federal Highway Administration
(FHWA),theFederalTransitAdministration(FTA),
and the Heart of Iowa Regional Transit Agency
(HIRTA) serve as advisory, nonvoting,
representativestotheDesMoinesAreaMPO.
Organization
As seen in Figure 2, three designated

committees form the structure of the Des
MoinesAreaMPO:theTransportationTechnical
Committee(TTC),theExecutiveCommittee,and
the Policy Committee. The Des Moines Area

MPO member governments and agencies
boards and councils appoint their respective
representatives to the TTC and to the Policy
Committee.

Figure2 DesMoinesAreaMPOCommittees
The Des Moines Area MPO TTC is

comprised primarily of representatives of
member governments and participating
agencies technical staffs, including planners,
engineers, and city administrators. The Des
Moines Area MPO Policy Committee is
comprised primarily of county supervisors, and
electedofficialsthatincludemayors,citycouncil
members,andcitymanagers. TheDesMoines
Area MPO Policy Committee annually elects
officersand atlargerepresentatives toforman
Executive Committee from among Policy
Committeerepresentatives.
The Des Moines Area MPO staff

supportstheTTC,theExecutiveCommittee,and
thePolicyCommittee. TheDesMoinesAreaw
MPO TTC offers technical guidance and
recommendations to the Executive Committee.
The Executive Committee then offers
recommendations to the Policy Committee,
based on the TTCs recommendations, before
the Des Moines Area MPO Policy Committee
takes formal actions on transportation issues.
Des Moines Area MPO TTC representation
differs from the Policy Committee in that DSM
andHIRTAarevotingmembersontheTTC.
Additionally,theDesMoinesAreaMPO
establishes and supports, as needed, other
subcommittees, roundtables, working groups,
and advisory committees on various
transportationrelatedissuesrelevanttotheDes
6
Moines Area MPO's responsibilities. The Des

Moines Area MPO requests stakeholder
organizations and citizens to serve on these
committees, as appropriate. As part of an
adopted public participation process, the Des
Moines Area MPO strongly encourages input
andcommunicationfromcitizens.

Representation
Population determines representation on

the TTC and the Policy Committee, with each
member government receiving at least one
representative. The Des Moines Area MPO
allows larger member governments to have
additional
representatives
based
on
predeterminedpopulationthresholdsidentifiedin
theDesMoinesAreaMPOsBylaws.
As previously noted, Iowa DOT, DSM,

FHWA, FTA, and HIRTA serve as advisory
representativestotheDesMoinesAreaMPO.
PublicParticipation
The Public Participation Plan (PPP),

updated in July 2010, outlines the Des Moines
Area MPOs public outreach efforts. The Des
Moines Area MPO engages the public through
three primary components: public meetings,
