Organization
Interstate Council
The Interstate Council (ISC) of the HEPMPO is the decision making body of the organization. The group is comprised of representatives of the respective State departments of transportation, public transit operators, and local elected officials.
In accordance with the HEPMPO bylaws, the Interstate Council is comprised of 17 members, 15 members of which shall have voting privileges and two that are non-voting members.
Technical Advisory Committee
In accordance with the MPO bylaws, a Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) was established to provide technical assistance and recommendations to the Interstate Council. The TAC is charged with 5 general responsibilities:
- Oversight of technical work;
- Coordination of the Long Range Transportation Plan;
- Compliance with State or Federal regulations;
- Review and recommendation of TIP projects and amendments;
- Review and recommendation of new projects and proposals.
The TAC shall be made up of 17 voting members and other non-voting members as recommended by the MPO Director and/or ISC members.
Air Quality Advisory Committee
The Air Quality Advisory Committee (AQAC) is a sub-committee of the Technical Advisory Committee charged with reviewing projects in the TIP, LRTP, or special studies for compliance with transportation conformity. This group meets on an as-needed basis and acts in an advisory capacity to the Interstate Council.
Citizen Advisory Committee
The Citizen Advisory Committee (CAC) plays an important role in the transportation planning process. The CAC provides a forum to the general public and interested stakeholders to voice their concerns and ideas regarding the regional transportation network to the decision making body of the MPO. Although we do not currently have an active CAC, we are seeking active volunteers who wish to participate on this committee. If you would like to be considered as an appointment to this committee, please contact us.
