 Advisory Committees to the MPO:

Advisory committee members provide input to the MPO to help identify and address transportation planning issues. To achieve a broad representation of ideas and perspectives, members are drawn from three categories: citizens, professionals (technical, social service, law enforcement, municipal agencies, etc.), and policy (elected officials). Vacancies occur periodically. If you are interested in serving, contact the MPO .
