Building a better northwest Missouri

NWMO RCOG is a regional organization that provides a variety of diverse programming, products, and services to our member governments at both municipal and regional levels. Our support extends to villages, towns, cities, and rural areas across the five counties of northwest Missouri. From funding opportunities, community resources, environmental and transportation planning, and more, Northwest Missouri Regional Council of Governments strives for community improvement and sustainable solutions throughout our five county service region.

Help Us Create Safer Roads in northwest Missouri

We are dedicated to establishing a systems-based and inclusive safety approach through NWMO Safer Roads, which is a data-driven strategy to ensure that streets and roads become vibrant spaces that everyone feels safe using. This work will enable the full potential of the region to flourish as we collectively strive towards the goal of reducing fatalities and serious crashes on roadways among all road users.
