Welcome to JUMPO

The Jacksonville Urban Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (JUMPO) is the regional transportation planning organization serving the Jacksonville metropolitan area of NC. Our planning area includes the City of Jacksonville, Onslow County, Town of Richlands, Town of Swansboro, Town of Holly Ridge, and Town of North Topsail Beach. JUMPO consists of partners from these areas and also North Carolina Department of Transportation, and Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune.

The City of Jacksonville is the lead planning agency for JUMPO in facilitating regional and cooperative planning processes for improving our area transportation network including: streets, highways, bridges, public transit, bicycle and pedestrian networks.

JUMPO 2050 MTP

The Metropolitan Transportation Plan—or MTP—is a long-range transportation plan with a horizon year of 20 years. The MTP considers all modes of transportation (Roadway, Bicycle and Pedestrian, and Transit) while also thinking about impacts to the environment, the economy, public health, and overall quality of life. It identifies ways to fund needed projects, prioritizes how funding is spent, and establishes metrics to measure if we are moving in the right direction.

Stay tuned and check back. More to come!

Back to School Safety

As we plan for the new school year, keep traffic safety top of mind. Whether it’s looking for bicycles and pedestrians, buckling up, practicing school bus safety, or putting down distractions, you have a part to play.

Horizon 2040

Horizon 2040 is the Comprehensive Land Use and Coastal Area Management Plan for Onslow County. The Plan takes inventory of the existing demographic, housing, development, and environmental conditions in order to understand the County’s foundation as it moves into the next 20 years.
