TPB Citizens Advisory Committee

About Us

COG is the one place in metropolitan Washington that regularly brings leaders together to develop solutions to the region's major challenges. COG prepares plans enabling the region to receive federal funding, provides members with research and data to inform decision-making, and offers a wide range of programs, including commuter services, cooperative purchasing, technical assistance and grants, and public outreach campaigns.

Transportation

Through the National Capital Region Transportation Planning Board (TPB), area officials, planners, and engineers ensure a well-managed and maintained transportation system. The TPB, which is staffed by COG, conducts the federally mandated transportation planning process for the region and ensures the uninterrupted flow of federal transportation funds that area jurisdictions receive.

Environment

COG's work engages leaders in various environmental fields from water quality experts to climate scientists. Together, they are advancing regional efforts to restore local waterways, improve air quality, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and address climate change, promote recycling, and enhance and preserve green space and agriculture.

Community

Area officials and experts, including planning and housing directors and child welfare and health officials, work together with their counterparts at COG to help shape stronger communities throughout the region.

Homeland Security & Public Safety

COG brings police chiefs, fire chiefs, emergency managers, and other leaders together as part of its work to strengthen regional public safety coordination, homeland security planning, and emergency communication.

At the CAC meeting on April 11, residents of the region will have the chance to share their thoughts about the TPB’s public participation activities and offer suggestions to improve engagement in our region’s transportation planning process. The meeting will be part of a multi-faceted review of the TPB process conducted by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Federal Transit Administration (FTA).

Under federal law, the federal surface transportation agencies must jointly certify the metropolitan transportation planning process of Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPO) like the TPB at least once every four years. Certification is granted after a thorough review of the MPO products, programs and processes, including work related to public participation. The objective of a Certification Review is to determine how the TPB is addressing federal law and regulations.
