Welcome to the San Angelo Metropolitan Planning Organization (SAMPO) Web Site.  SAMPO is the transportation planning body for the City of San Angelo and adjacent areas.  By working together, federal, state, and local agencies use one unified approach for planning which avoids conflicting plans, duplicated projects, or funding conflicts between priorities in the metropolitan planning area.   The San Angelo metropolitan planning area is identified by SAMPO and the Department of Transportation (map).

SAMPO strives to support the economic vitality of the San Angelo area, make transportation safer, give people and freight greater access to mobility options, protect the environment while promoting energy conservation, improve the connectivity and integration of the current transportation system, promote efficient transportation options, and preserve existing transportation as much as possible.

SAMPO is responsible for creating and reviewing transportation plans, including the Metropolitan Transportation Plan, Transportation Improvement Programs, and Unified Planning Work Programs.  Unified Planning Work Programs (UPWPs) detail the projects for a given fiscal year.  Transportation Improvement Programs (TIPs) detail projects for the next three years.  UPWPs and TIPs are revised annually.  All these plans work together to identify transportation programs and financing alternatives.
