Get Active, El Paso!

The brochure presents information on the City of El Paso and, as the title says, residents are encouraged to be more proactive and cooperate with the local city planners. In this case, the El Paso Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) is the regional planning and programming agency responsible for working with residents; neighborhood groups; transportation providers; and local, state, and federal agencies in El Paso County, Texas, and southern Dona Ana and Otero Counties in New Mexico. The MPO seeks to create a single voice across these agencies to benefit the most area residents possible while reflecting the community's unique needs and concerns. As the brochure states, the MPO is currently exploring ways to increase mobility for residents as it creates a multimodal plan for the future. Part of that plan involves motivating and encouraging city residents to take different travel choices such as walking, biking, or riding on public transportation. By encouraging people to choose other travel options, roadway congestion is relieved and public health is enhanced at the same time.
