2007 American Metropolitan Planning Organization Award - The National Award for Outstanding Achievement in Metropolitan Transportation Planning - Recipient: Community Planning Association of Southwest Idaho (COMPASS) in Meridian, Idaho – Kittelson & Associates

The AMPO national award for outstanding achievement in metropolitan transportation planning was presented to the Community Planning Association of Southwest Idaho (COMPASS) in Meridian, Idaho for their Plan, Communities in Motion: Regional Long-Range Transportation Plan 2030 or CIM. In the past, their Plans had been little more than a collection of individual projects. For this Plan, they evaluated the regional transportation needs across a six-county region for the next 20 years and tied quantitative and qualitative evaluations of land use patterns to transportation needs associated with desired growth patterns. During the three-year project, they involved the public in numerous ways and thus brought significant attention to the need for transportation and land-use integration. Local elected officials commended them for their public involvement efforts and a local nonprofit noted that, “They were a changed region because of Communities in Motion outreach.”
