Introduction The Southwestern Pennsylvania Commission (SPC) is the designated Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for a 10-county region within Southwestern Pennsylvania. MPOs are responsible for making transportation conformity determinations for both their short range Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) and their long range transportation plan. This report documents the process used by SPC in the spring of 2019 to make its transportation-related conformity determination for the region's draft 2045 Long Range Transportation Plan (SmartMoves for a Changing Region) and updates to the 2019-2022 Transportation Improvement Program.
