The region is a smaller-sized urban area with approximately 105,000 residents in the urbanized area as of the 2000 census. CCMPO is the only MPO in the state of Vermont.
As the MPO for this area, CCMPO is charged with creating and maintaining a regional long-range transportation plan (LRTP) that coordinates and prioritizes regional transportation improvements, and performing other planning functions such as allocating Federal funds to selected projects through short-term programming documents such as the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP).
