TAC Orientation Meetings Held

We hosted an orientation for members of the Transportation Advisory Committee (TAC) yesterday here at SRTC, and have another session today. The TAC is a new advisory group responsible for advising SRTC Board members on recommendations regarding plans, programs, and activities conducted by SRTC.

The orientation included an overview of what exactly SRTC does, what laws and policies we're governed by, the makeup of our Board and staff, and what projects TAC members will be working on initially. Those projects include the Unified Planning Work Program, the Regional Transportation Project List for advocacy, and the Prioritization and Selection process for transportation projects. I'll expand on those topics after the next meeting.

In the meantime, you can view the power point presentation that was presentated at the TAC orientation and find out more about the TAC in general by clicking here.
