The Volusia County Metropolitan Organization (MPO) was formed in 1977 as the Volusia Coastal Area Transportation Study (VCATS). At that time the organization served eastern Volusia County – mainly the cities around and including Daytona Beach.  Since that initial creation the organization has expanded to first include all of Volusia County and  after  the 2000 Census, expanded again to include Flagler Beach and Beverly Beach. Effective July 1, 2010 the Volusia County MPO changed its name to the Volusia Transportation Planning Organization (TPO).

The Volusia TPO Board consists of elected officials from all of the member local governments – county and city – and also has representation from the Volusia County School Board and FDOT.  These dedicated individuals are responsible for working together to improve the safety and efficiency of the transportation system in the area served by the TPO.  All modes and concerns are addressed including: transportation issues and services for the transportation disadvantaged, public transportation, roadways, bridges, and bicycle and pedestrian facilities.
