Capital Region Transportation Planning Agency

What Capital Region Transportation Planning Agency does

The Capital Region Transportation Planning Agency (CRTPA) is the designated Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for Florida's Capital Region, coordinating regional transportation planning across Gadsden, Jefferson, Leon, and Wakulla counties. The agency operates as a public-sector entity mandated under federal transportation planning requirements, functioning as the principal forum for collective transportation policy discussions among local governments, transit providers, and the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) District 3. Its primary constituencies include local and state government agencies (the four member counties, City of Tallahassee, Leon County, FDOT, and Blueprint Intergovernmental Agency), regional transit providers (StarMetro, Big Bend Transit, Wakulla Senior Citizens Council), and the residents of the four-county region.

The agency's core technical outputs center on regional planning documents, project prioritization platforms, and public-facing data tools. These include a recently launched interactive CRTPA Dashboard displaying 2024 crash location data and speed data on select high-volume corridors, an Interactive TIP Tool for viewing and commenting on funded transportation projects, and an Interactive Project Priority List Site enabling public input on roadway and bicycle/pedestrian projects. The agency has built its planning framework around a sequence of adopted initiatives: the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Safety Action Plan (June 2023), the Congestion Management Plan (March 2024), the Public Involvement Process Plan (June 2024), the N. Monroe Street Safety Implementation Plan (September 2024), the School Safety Study (April 2025), the SS4A Implementation Grant award (December 2025), and adoption of annual safety targets (February 2026) and the FY 2027–FY 2031 TIP (June 2026). The technology stack emphasizes interoperability between planning data, public comment mechanisms, and FHWA reporting requirements rather than proprietary algorithms.

CRTPA does not generate commercial revenue. The agency is funded through federal and state transportation planning programs channeled primarily via FDOT District 3 and is governed by a board comprising representatives from the four member counties, supported by a Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) and a Citizens Multimodal Advisory Committee (CMAC). Its go-to-market model is non-commercial: planning and stakeholder engagement are conducted through board meetings, TAC/CMAC committee meetings, in-person and virtual public meetings, public hearings associated with specific corridor studies, and live broadcast of board meetings via WCOT TV. Distribution of planning outputs occurs through the agency's website (crtpa.org), Facebook presence, and direct engagement with municipal partners. Leadership comprises Executive Director Greg Slay (AICP), Assistant Director Jack Kostrzewa, Planning Manager Greg Burke (AICP), Programs Manager Suzanne K. Lex (AICP), and Administrative Assistant Yulonda Mitchell — a small named-team headcount typical of a single-MPO four-county agency.

Regional players

• Atlanta Regional Commission: Regional commission that also serves as the MPO for the Atlanta 13-county region. Performs CRTPA-equivalent planning duties (LRTP, TIP, safety) at much greater scale and with broader authority; useful comparison for governance and multimodal coordination models.
• Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG): Regional council of governments that doubles as the MPO for the six-county Sacramento region. Role-equivalent to CRTPA outside Florida, performing LRTP, TIP/MTIP, and SS4A-style safety programs across multiple member jurisdictions.

Direct peers

• Broward MPO: Metropolitan Planning Organization for Broward County. Direct role-comparable peer to CRTPA, executing the same federally mandated deliverables (LRTP, TIP, safety targets) with a multimodal mandate that closely mirrors CRTPA's.
• MetroPlan Orlando: MPO for the Orlando urbanized area across Orange, Osceola, and Seminole counties. Direct peer to CRTPA, performing identical federally mandated planning functions (LRTP, TIP, safety targets) and serving as a comparable cross-county coordination body, but at much larger scale.
• North Florida TPO: Federally designated TPO/MPO for the Jacksonville urbanized area in northeast Florida. Direct functional peer to CRTPA: same MPO role, same federal planning mandate, same TIP/PPL deliverables, but serving a larger and more urbanized region.
• Sarasota/Manatee MPO: Joint MPO for Sarasota and Manatee counties on Florida's Gulf Coast. Highly comparable to CRTPA in two-county scale, governance, and TIP-oriented work program, and one of the closest structural analogs to a four-county regional MPO.
• Lee County MPO: MPO for Lee County (Fort Myers/Cape Coral area) in southwest Florida. The most structurally comparable peer to CRTPA in scale—a county-level MPO with similar team size, multi-municipality coordination, and TIP cycle dynamics.
• Hillsborough TPO: Metropolitan planning organization for the Tampa-Hillsborough region. Direct peer in role and product (LRTP, TIP, SS4A-style safety work) and comparable on multimodal coordination, though serving a substantially larger urbanized population than CRTPA.
• Palm Beach TPA: Transportation Planning Agency for Palm Beach County. Performs identical MPO functions to CRTPA, including LRTP, TIP, and SS4A programs; somewhat larger in scope but a close functional peer in Florida's MPO landscape.

Broad incumbents

• Miami-Dade TPO: Largest TPO in Florida, serving Miami-Dade County. Performs the same core MPO functions as CRTPA (LRTP, TIP, SS4A, public involvement) but operates at metropolitan scale with a much larger portfolio, staff, and budget.
