The Mountainland Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) is soliciting proposals from qualified consultants to enhance its organizational effectiveness by conducting a comprehensive organizational assessment. This assessment aims to evaluate the alignment of our roles, responsibilities, staffing, program delivery, and structure with the evolving needs of our region and partners. The insights gained will enable us to optimize service delivery, ensure alignment with our mission, vision, and goals, and adhere to contemporary best practices in metropolitan planning. Notably, the MPO encompasses the urban Utah County area and hosts the Wasatch Back Rural Planning Organization (RPO) for Summit and Wasatch Counties.

As the designated Association of Governments for our region, the Mountainland Association of Governments (MAG) is dedicated to fostering growth and success within our communities. Our objectives include promoting regional collaboration, facilitating access to funding and services, fostering solutions through unbiased facilitation, and advocating for local issues. MAG manages the federally designated Mountainland Metropolitan Planning Organization.
