    Metropolitan Transportation Planning
   
  The Association of Monterey Bay Area Governments (AMBAG) is the federally designated Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for transportation planning activities in the tri-county Monterey Bay Region. It is the lead agency responsible for developing and administering plans and programs to maintain eligibility and receive federal funds for the transportation systems in the Monterey, San Benito and Santa Cruz Counties. As the MPO, AMBAG provides the forum for cooperative decision making in the development of transportation plans, programs and recommendations. AMBAG also provides an opportunity for citizens to participate in the discussion of specific transportation issues and projects, and encourages the public to get involved in the public involvement opportunities as available throughout the Metropolitan Transportation Planning process.

AMBAG works with Regional Transportation Planning Agencies (SBtCOG, SCCRTC and TAMC), Transit Providers (MST and SCMETRO), the Monterey Bay Unified Air Pollution Control District (MBUAPCD), state and federal governments, and organizations having interest in or responsibility for transportation planning and programming. AMBAG also coordinates transportation planning and programming activities with the three counties and eighteen local jurisdictions within the tri-county Monterey Bay Region.

AMBAG develops documents that represent the key ingredients to the transportation planning and programming in the tri-county Monterey Bay Metropolitan Planning Region. These include the following:
