The Transportation Planning Committee (TPC) provides direction and technical expertise for a variety of regional transportation planning studies, plans and programs, including the five-year Transportation Improvement Program and the long-range Regional Transportation Plan. Numerous other transportation subcommittees, task forces and working groups report their recommendations to, and receive direction from, the TPC. The TPC directly supports PAG's role as the federally designated Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), charged with maintaining a continuous, cooperative and comprehensive, multi-modal regional transportation planning process.  All PAG member jurisdictions are represented on the TPC.
