About CAMPO
CAMPO has been active in transportation planning for the Corvallis metro area since 2002. As one of six Metropolitan Planning Organizations throughout Oregon, CAMPO’s Mission is to facilitate regional transportation planning and programming and to maximize federal funding sources for local benefit.
CAMPO works with the Cities of Corvallis, Philomath, and Adair Village as well as Benton County to coordinate planning efforts in the CAMPO planning area. CAMPO also coordinates closely with the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT).
Primary responsibilities of the MPO are: 1) to develop a Regional Transportation Plan, and; 2) to allocate the federal transportation funds to the area's highest priority projects. The MPO also coordinates regional transit, ensures public participation in transportation planning, and oversees specialized projects such as the 9th Street Improvement Plan.
Regional Transportation Plan
CAMPO's Regional Transportation Plan was adopted in September 2006. In 2007 CAMPO adopted an Addendum to the Plan to comply with federal requirements of SAFETEA-LU.

Transit Coordination
CAMPO works to coordinate efficient transit routes within the Corvallis area travelshed, which includes Philomath, Corvallis, Adair Village, Albany and Lebanon. This single travelshed encompasses 130,000 residents of Benton and Linn Counties travelling for work, education, and shopping. The travelshed, however, is split by several political boundaries and, as such, is served by several different transit entities. CAMPO’s transit coordination goal is to provide seamless transit rides across those jurisdictions from and to the MPO area. To read more, download the Transit Coordination Report.
Public Participation
Public involvement is a key component of the MPO transportation planning process. Federal and state laws require that MPOs adopt a process for involving the public in their planning and programming activities. Furthermore, the Policy Board of the CAMPO regards public involvement as an integral part of the MPO’s transportation planning and programming activities.
