Serving the New Orleans Metropolitan Region
Our Focus Areas
The Regional Planning Commission (RPC) serves as the regional planning agency and official metropolitan planning organization (MPO) for Southeast Louisiana, coordinating transportation, environmental, economic development, and general planning across the region.
Our job is to bring together state agencies, local governments, stakeholders, and the public to develop plans and programs that shape how people move, live, and thrive in our communities.
We manage federal and state transportation funding, conduct regional studies, support infrastructure improvements, and help guide smart, equitable growth. By using data, public input, and long-term visioning, we work to create a safer, more connected, and more resilient future for everyone in the region.
The Regional Planning Commission is committed to the people of south Louisiana. By focusing on the key aspects of sustainable growth in the region, we help maintain a healthy environment and streamline transportation, while driving economic development.
