HPMPO History
The first thoroughfare plan for the High Point area was adopted in 1962. It was based on a 1960 origin and destination study and included High Point, Jamestown, Archdale, and part of Guilford County.
In 1965, comprehensive planning was formalized by a Memorandum of Understanding between High Point, Jamestown, Guilford County, and the North Carolina State Highway Commission, in cooperation with the United States Department of Commerce Bureau of Public Roads, which established a Technical Coordinating Committee.
The High Point Urban Area Thoroughfare Plan was updated in 1968 and revised in 1977, based on a 1973 origin and destination study. A Thomasville Thoroughfare Plan was developed in 1969.
In the 1970’s, Archdale, Thomasville, Davidson County and Randolph County were formally added to the High Point Urban Area MPO, the City of High Point was designated as the lead planning agency, and a Transportation Advisory Committee was established.
The High Point Urban Area Thoroughfare Plan was updated in 1980, revised in 1982 and updated again in 1989. Since that time, the City of Trinity was added to the MPO in 1999 and Forsyth County was added in 2003.
