Through the first six games, Carter picked up 766 yards and nine scores before finishing the season with 1,539 yards and 23 touchdowns. So far this season, Barkley has 649 yards on the ground and six touchdowns, but he also has 395 receiving yards, two receiving touchdowns and the 98-yard kickoff return touch- down against Indiana. Barkley may not have better rushing numbers than Carter did that year, but his all-purpose contributions give him an edge over the man who went on to finish second in the Heisman voting in 1994.

  • Centre County Metropolitan Planning Organization (CCMPO)
    Centre County Metropolitan Planning Organization (CCMPO) 2012 Coordinated Public Transit – Human Services Transportation Plan Incorporating Requirements for: • Job Access and Reverse Commute Program • New Freedom Program • Elderly Persons and Persons with Disabilities Program Adopted September 25, 2012 Introduction Federal law and regulations require that in all urbanized areas with a population of over 50,000 persons, local and state officials work cooperatively to maintain a continuous and comprehensive long-range transportation planning program. A formal group called a metropolitan planning organization (MPO) carries out this federal mandate. The Centre Region MPO (CRMPO) was formed in 1982, and succeeded the Centre Region Area Transportation Study (CRATS), which had previously been responsible for conducting long-range transportation planning in the State College, PA area. By 2003, the CRMPO coordinated transportation planning efforts in the geographic area comprised of Benner, College, Ferguson, Halfmoon, Harris, Patton, and Spring Townships, Bellefonte Borough, and State College Borough in Centre County, PA. In November 2003, the Centre Region MPO Coordinating Committee expanded the MPO to a countywide organization, effective January 2004. The boundary of the Centre County MPO (CCMPO) now includes all of Centre County. The CCMPO works closely with the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT), the Centre Area Transportation Authority (CATA), and the Centre County Office of Transportation Services (CCOT) to identify and prioritize transportation improvement projects within Centre County. MPO Structure The policy-making body of the CCMPO is the Coordinating Committee, which is ultimately responsible for the transportation planning activities mandated in federal laws and regulations. The Coordinating Committee includes nineteen voting members from county and local government, public agencies, and PennDOT.
