WAMPO REGIONAL CONNECTIONS
The Wichita Area Metropolitan Planning Organization’s (WAMPO’s) planning boundary encompasses a complex and varied network of jurisdictions, each contributing to the success of the region. To enhance communication and collaboration across the metropolitan area, WAMPO is coordinating a series of presentations to the Transportation Policy Body (TPB) with the theme of “Regional Connections.” This initiative, spanning the years 2025 and 2026, invites WAMPO member jurisdictions and planning partners to present updates on local projects, policies, or programs of regional significance to the TPB. This presentation series will ensure stakeholders stay informed about new and ongoing work across the region and will highlight initiatives within each community.
Recordings of presentations made so far are available at https://bit.ly/WAMPO-Regional-Connections-Playlist.
WAMPO staff continue to coordinate the presentation schedule. Following the conclusion of the presentation series, a report highlighting various initiatives contributing to advancing mobility, economic development, and overall quality of life in the WAMPO region, as well as related data trends, will be published. Please contact wampo@wampo.org to reserve a time to present.
