The Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission (MVRPC) has served the planning needs of the Miami Valley in Southwest Ohio since 1964. MVRPC serves as the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), a federal and state designation, for Montgomery, Miami, Greene Counties, plus a portion of Northern Warren County. MVRPC provides Regional and Environmental planning support for members in seven counties: Preble, Darke, and Shelby counties plus the four MPO counties. MVRPC also houses the Institute for Livable and Equitable Communities in partnership with the Dayton Foundation to influence and track the region's progress in the areas of age friendly communities and ensuring social and economic equity and fairness throughout our region. MVRPC policies guide agency interactions in many areas including transportation project funding, public participation in the planning process, public records retention and access, and non-discrimination in federally funded programs (Title VI).
