MPOBoundaries

A Metropolitan Planning Area (MPA) is the geographic area determined by agreement between the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for the area and the Governor, in which the metropolitan transportation planning process is carried out. MPO planning area boundaries are established according to the federal metropolitan planning regulations (23 CFR 450, Subpart C) http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2007-02-14/pdf/07-493.pdf. The MPA must encompass at a minimum the Census Urbanized Area and the contiguous geographic area likely to become urbanized within the next 20 years. This data was constructed from the NYS civil boundary files that are owned and maintained by the New York State Office of Cyber Security & Critical Infrastructure Coordination (CSCIC). Federal regulation requires that states designate MPOs in Census Urbanized Areas with populations of 50,000 or more. MPOs are responsible for ensuring that federal-aid transportation projects in the metropolitan area result from a continuing, comprehensive and cooperative transportation planning process. New York State has thirteen MPOs.

都市规划区域（MPA）是指由该区域都市规划组织（MPO）与州长达成协议确定的地理区域，在此区域内执行都市交通规划过程。MPO规划区域的边界依据联邦都市规划法规（23 CFR 450，子部分C）设立，具体可参阅http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2007-02-14/pdf/07-493.pdf。都市规划区域至少应包括人口达到五万或以上的城市区域以及在未来二十年内可能城市化的连续地理区域。本数据集由纽约州网络安全与关键基础设施协调办公室（CSCIC）所拥有和维护的纽约州民事边界文件构建而成。联邦法规要求各州在人口达到五万或以上的城市区域指定都市规划组织。都市规划组织负责确保都市区域内的联邦资助交通项目源于持续、全面且协作的交通规划过程。纽约州设有十三家都市规划组织。
