Committees
The Montgomery Area Transportation Study process is carried out by the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO). The MPO has two advisory committees. The MPO (Policy Committee) is the official decision making body of the process. The MPO policy committee has two advisory committees which include: (1) The Technical Coordinating Committee (TCC), which coordinates and advises the MPO on technical matters of projects, plans and programs, and (2) The Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC), which advises the MPO on the general public’s perspective on projects, plans and programs. The MPO has the ultimate authority on all transportation planning decisions, but the advisory committees make recommendations to the MPO that shape the transportation planning process. The activities of the TCC and the CAC are governed by the MPO.
