According to AMPO, the award honors the efforts of the MPO in <br />"successfully advancing and promoting metropolitan transportation planning." In Indian River County, the MPO has <br />more than measured up with activities such as its Bicycle Safety Roadeo Training Program (13,931 children trained so far); <br />trail plans and projects including the Trans -Central Florida Rail Trail, Lagoon Greenway, and Martin Luther King Trail; <br />GoLine Transit expansion plans, Bicycle Friendly Community designation (one of only 2 counties in the state so <br />designated); and the new Oslo Road Interchange, a long-awaited and vital new interchange that was recently funded to the <br />tune of $to Million in the latest FDOT Work Program. The MPO infuses creativity and innovation in its approach to <br />planning and emphasizes performance in terms of successful outcomes. The MPO also reaches out to everyone — seniors, <br />the transportation disadvantaged, the business community, and advocacy groups alike — in making balanced decisions. <br />Susan Adams, MPO Chairman, credits the efforts of staff, partner agencies (like FDOT, the GoLme, and local <br />governments), and her fellow MPO Board Members as factors that led AMPO to recognize the MVIPO "Here in the county, <br />we enjoy an outstanding quality of life. Our transportation system in all its forms both fits the community and serves the <br />community well. '1'o me, the MPO is more than the transportation planning board of the County — it is an important tool <br />for achieving our goals."
