Transportation Advisory Committee (TAC)
   
 

Transportation Advisory Committee

What is the TAC?
The TAC is the governing policy board for the Gaston MPO. Membership includes elected officials from each of the participating jurisdictions, the area’s representative on the Board of Transportation, an advisory non-voting member from FHWA, and other members as may be designated by the MOU. The Transportation Advisory Committee provides policy direction for the planning process, facilitates communication and coordination among the member jurisdictions and guides the development of a comprehensive multi-modal transportation program for the urban area. The Transportation Advisory Committee directs the 3-C process through its annual review and approval of the Planning Work Program (PWP); the MPO’s local Transportation Improvement Program (MTIP), and through review and approval of changes to the Urban Area Transportation Plan.

The TAC meets the fourth Tuesday of every other month at 6:30 p.m. For more information on location, please call 704-866-6837.
