With local elected officials’ guidance and consent, ACOG administers and manages the state and federal grant programs for which it receives funds. Through various grant funding mechanisms, membership dues, and service fees, ACOG administers four major service areas: Transportation Planning Services (Metropolitan Planning Organization – MPO), 911 & Public Safety, Community & Economic Development, and Water Resources.

ACOG Administration

ACOG Administrative Services is responsible for the internal operations that support all ACOG program areas. These include financial services, information technology/facilities management, human resources, and public information services.

911 ACOG provides funding, planning, technical support, dispatcher training and educational outreach assistance to 22 Emergency Communication Centers (ECCs) throughout the 911 ACOG Service Area, enabling those agencies to deliver the highest quality Enhanced 911 service to its citizens.

As the designated Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for Central Oklahoma, ACOG provides regional transportation planning, data development and management services, air quality and Clean Cities outreach to ensure continued certification by the appropriate federal and state agencies.

The impact of transportation on Central Oklahoma air quality is a component of the ACOG regional planning efforts. ACOG works to assure compliance with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) National Ambient Air Quality Standards through a variety of programs which serve to educate and affect the public’s capacity to work towards improved air quality in Central Oklahoma.

ACOG works closely with the cities, counties, chambers of commerce, and economic development organizations throughout Central Oklahoma, providing education, training, and expert assistance for community and economic development initiatives and funding opportunities. In 2013, ACOG was designated as an Economic Development District (EDD) from the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA). In 2019, ACOG branded its EDD as the Capital Area Economic Development District of Oklahoma (CAPEDD) and published its Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) with updates in 2021 and Fall 2024.

The Water Resources Division helps local governments to maximize the use of their ground and surface water resources. This includes planning, management, protection, and research of water quality and supplies.
