Background and Discussion:
The Technical Advisory Committee (formerly the Transportation Advisory Committee) reviews and evaluates H-GAC's regional transportation plans and provides its recommendations to the Transportation Policy Council (TPC). TAC members assist with the coordination of the Transportation Improvement Program, Metropolitan Transportation Plan and other transportation planning activities.
The TAC is an appointed body comprised of representatives of member governments and special citizen interest groups with expertise in transportation planning. Going forward, the TAC-appointed positions will be for an indefinite term. At least 45 days prior to the end of each calendar year, H-GAC will send a notice to each appointing official and/or agency that the term of their appointed representative will be automatically renewed if no change is submitted prior to December 31 of each year.
Expected Impact:
The reappointment ensures Harris County representation on the TAC and will enable continuity of operations and leadership on the board.
