Informing regional decisions on transportation needs.

Why

To ensure the NVCOG allocates transportation resources where they are most needed and merited, the TTAC reviews and offers an opinion on proposed transportation infrastructure before they are presented to the Board of Directors for action.

Additionally, the TTAC provides a forum for the region’s transportation and public works professionals to discuss issues of mutual concern, seek advice from peers and be informed about transportation issues and programs.
