# Transportation Policy Committee - September 22, 2026

The City of Lubbock's Love Metropolitan Planning Organization Transportation Policy Committee convened on September 22, 2026, to discuss several procurement and budget-related matters. A key agenda item was the office space procurement and lease negotiation for the LMPO, with two tenant options evaluated based on space, IT infrastructure, security, and total occupancy costs. After detailed discussion, including IT service charges and public accessibility considerations, the committee voted to select Tenant B for the new office space. Additionally, the committee authorized staff to initiate the procurement process for a consultant to develop the Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) for 2055, with funding allocated in the FY27 budget and a projected contract timeline of 18 to 20 months. The committee also approved accounting adjustments related to a $29,000 benefit-cost analysis for US84/Loop 88 to support grant applications. Nominations for chair and vice chair positions were made, with final elections scheduled for the next meeting. The meeting included updates on transportation demand modeling and freight data analysis, highlighting regional economic impacts and upcoming state freight conferences.
