The Use of an Objectives-Driven, Performance-Based Approach at the Champaign County Regional Planning Commission

Overview

CCRPC is the MPO for the Champaign-Urbana Urbanized Area, an area of approximately 40 square miles with a population of over 126,000 in east central Illinois. This region is the home to the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana, a school with nearly 42,000 undergraduate and graduate students.

CUUATS coordinates with the Illinois Department of Transportation, Champaign County, the Cities of Champaign and Urbana, the Village of Savoy, the University of Illinois, the Champaign-Urbana Mass Transit District, and the general public to develop the region's metropolitan transportation plan (MTP). Because of the large population of students, pedestrian and bicycle access and safety are top priorities in the region.
