The Land-of-Sky Rural Planning Organization (LOSRPO) is a voluntary organization of local governments working cooperatively with the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) and local officials to enhance transportation planning opportunities for rural areas in our region.

 Together, the members of the LOSRPO

• Develop long range transportation plans for the region
• Provide transportation-related information and data to local governments
• Develop and prioritize projects for the State Transportation Improvement Program  (STIP)
• Provide a forum for public involvement in the transportation planning process.

Member governments of the RPO include: Buncombe, Haywood, Madison, and Transylvania Counties; and the municipalities of Brevard, Hot Springs, Marshall, Mars Hill, and Rosman.

Tell us your thoughts

Public participation is an important part of transportation planning. We encourage citizens of the area served by the LOSRPO to contact Land-of-Sky staff with concerns, ideas, and opinions on what is needed from your transportation facilities

Interested citizens and stakeholder groups can use the RPO to learn about or influence plans for the future construction of highway, bicycle, pedestrian, and rail projects. 

You can speak to the RPO TAC and TCC at  their meetings during public comment or at project-specific public hearings.  You can also contact us by letter, phone, or email.
