Updated September 18, 2026 at 8:19 AM UTC

The Reclaim Local Control Act requires metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) that are currently made up only of officials appointed by a governor to change their structure within one year. It directs those MPOs to either be redesignated under existing law or to be reorganized so they meet the statutory requirements for MPO composition. The bill affects all MPOs designated under 23 U.S.C. §134(d) that meet this condition.

Key Provisions

Within one year of the law’s enactment, any MPO composed entirely of gubernatorial appointees must either be redesignated according to the existing statutory process, or be restructured to comply with the composition requirements set out in the law.
