The Lake-Sumter MPO Governing Board consists of 22 board members (14 voting and eight non-voting) representing the communities of the Lake-Sumter region. Each member government appoints an elected official to the MPO Governing Board, along with an alternate representative.
The apportionment of membership on the Lake-Sumter MPO Governing Board includes one voting representative from each of the seven most populated cities in Lake County, including Clermont, Eustis, Lady Lake, Leesburg, Minneola, Mount Dora and Tavares. In addition, the five members of the Lake County Board of County Commissioners and the one designated county commissioner from the Sumter County Board of County Commissioners are each voting members. The seven least populated cities of Lake County share one at-large vote that rotates alphabetically each year. During 2007, Groveland holds the rotating vote. In 2006 the MPO Governing Board approved the addition of 2 ex-officio members, the City of Wildwood, and the Florida Central Railroad.
