The Regional Transportation Council (RTC) is the independent transportation policy body of the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO).
The Regional Transportation Council, which meets the second Thursday of each month in Arlington, is comprised of local elected or appointed officials representing cities or counties, and transportation provider representatives. I serve on this Council representing Frisco, Allen, Prosper and Lucas.
The RTC is responsible for overseeing the metropolitan transportation planning process. Primary activities include:
- Providing guidance regarding the development of multimodal transportation plans and programs.
- Programming federal and State funds for the implementation of transportation improvements.
- Selecting specific federally funded projects and programs.
- Assuring the coordination of services among transportation providers, and
- Ensuring compliance with federal and State laws and regulations pertaining to metropolitan transportation and air quality planning.
