The Fayetteville Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (FAMPO) was established in 1975 as a result of the Federal Surface Transportation Assistance Act of 1973. Any Urbanized Area (UZA) with a population greater than 50,000 is designated as an MPO. Any UZA greater that 200,000 is also designated as a Transportation Management Area (TMA). The Fayetteville MPO is also a TMA. The Census Bureau establishes UZA boundaries. For the past twenty years, the FAMPO UZA included the city of Fayetteville, the towns of Hope Mills and Spring Lake, Fort Bragg Military Reservation, Pope Air Force Base, the urban portion of Cumberland County, and a portion of Harnett County. After the 2000 census, the UZA was expanded to include portions of Hoke County, for a total population of approximately 276,000.

All decisions of the MPO are made by the Transportation Advisory Committee (TAC) with recommendations from the Technical Coordinating Committee (TCC). The membership and voting structures of these committees will be established through a new Memorandum of Understanding between all of the participating governments. For more information, view the organizational structure or the transportation planning process of the MPO.
