San Antonio Metropolitan Planning Organization (SAMPO)

We don't need a toll road; we need overpasses on 281!

In 2003, TxDOT had the clearance and the gas taxes for the expansion and overpasses on Hwy 281 north of Loop 1604. Now they want to convert this freeway, already built and paid for, into a toll road. For no other reason than to DOUBLE TAX motorists. The purpose of this web site is to inform and educate you, the taxpayer, as to what’s really going on and how to get the non-toll fix built on 281. Our battle cry? Build the 281 overpasses NOW!

See definition for a MPO. SAMPO is the local committee that is responsible for the urban transportation planning process, which allows San Antonio and Bexar County to receive over $200 million annually in federal and state transportation funding. They do this through three related activities: The Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) , the Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) , and the Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) . SAMPO’s Board of Directors is called the Transportation Policy Board (TPB).
