Long-Range Plan Task Force
Task Force Activities
In 2017 the TPB’s Long-Range Plan Task Force recommended five aspirational initiatives for the TPB's endorsement. The TPB had charged the task force with identifying a limited set of regionally significant projects, programs, and policies above and beyond what was in the then-current Constrained Long-Range Transportation Plan (CLRP).
The task force met throughout 2017. The process started with identifying ten initiatives (combinations of projects, policies and programs) to analyze and understand how they could help the region make better progress toward achieving the goals laid out in TPB and COG governing documents. The TPB agreed on those ten initiatives to study.
After participating in and reviewing the results of a sketch planning analysis of the ten initiatives, the task force recommended five initiatives for TPB endorsement for concerted TPB action in 2018 and beyond. The task force determined that those five initiatives have the greatest potential to help the region reach its transportation goals.
In December 2017 the TPB endorsed those initiatives for inclusion in the aspirational element of Visualize 2045 and for future concerted action.
