Transportation Policy Alternatives Committee
About Metro › Committees and partners › Metro advisory committees › Transportation Policy Alternatives Committee
This committee provides technical input to the Joint Policy Advisory Committee on Transportation on transportation planning and funding priorities for the Portland metropolitan area.
While the Joint Policy Advisory Committee on Transportation provides a forum for recommendations on transportation issues at the policy level, the Transportation Policy Alternatives Committee provides input from the technical level.
TPAC's 21 members consist of technical staff from the same governments and agencies as JPACT, plus a representative from the Southwest Washington Regional Transportation Council and six community members appointed by the Metro Council. In addition, the Federal Highway Administration and C-TRAN have appointed an associate non-voting member to the committee.
