  A short-term (4-year) plan which discusses the near-term allocation of federal and state transportation funds to projects. Updated every 2-3 years.
• Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP)
  A long-term (20-year) plan for prioritized transportation investments within the Bend area transportation system. Updated every 5 years. 
• Public Participation Plan
  This plan includes a documented process for providing the public and others with reasonable opportunities to be involved in the BMPO transportation planning process.
• Title VI Plan (Title VI of the Civil Rights Act)
  This plan outlines the BMPO’s commitment to non-discrimination and other related orders and enforcement regulations.
• Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP)
  A biennial work plan which details BMPO work tasks to be continued or undertaken in the Bend area over a specific 2-year period. Developed every 2-years, updated mid-cycle.

The BMPO also participates in a number of other planning-related efforts in the Bend area. These include planning studies and development of various transportation-related plans of member agencies. Links to these planning projects are available in the left navigation bar of this webpage.
