In a modern world increasingly built on regional economies and improved transportation and logistics, regional councils are ideally positioned to help Ohio meet the demands of the 21st Century.
The Ohio Association of Regional Councils comprises 21 agencies serving 1525 municipalities, villages, townships and counties and representing 10,500,000 residents of those communities around the state.
Most of Ohio’s regional councils are federally mandated Metropolitan Planning Organizations that bring local officials together to determine transportation priorities and how to allocate federal transportation dollars. Six of the councils are Areawide Water Quality Management Planning Agencies, designated under the Clean Water Act and certified by the Governor of Ohio. However, all the councils have long histories of coordinating transportation, environmental, and land-use planning, and helping local initiatives within the framework of state policy.
