The Transportation Advisory Committee (TAC) includes representatives from state, local and federal transportation agencies, the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, public utilities, the taxicab industry and charter bus/van operators.
This committee provides technical assistance and recommendations to the Transportation Policy Committee. TAC reviews the procedures for the various phases of transportation studies, methodologies, projections, assumptions and recommended plans and programs before submission to the Transportation Policy Committee. TAC also advises the staff in the conduct of technical activity. All meetings are open to the public.
