Description:
Who We Are: The Massachusetts Association of Regional Planning Agencies (MARPA) is a statewide organization of
the commonwealth’s 13 regional planning agencies (RPAs). Each RPA, in turn, comprises
representatives of the member cities and towns constituting its geographic region. Although
Massachusetts’ RPAs are public service agencies, they are not direct arms of the federal or state
governments. Rather, they are consortia of local governments that have banded together under the
provisions of state law to address problems and opportunities that are regional in scope. The regional
planning areas delineated for each of Massachusetts’ 13 RPAs are designated by state enabling
legislation as special state districts
