Technical Advisory Committee
A thirteen-member Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) provides input to the Policy Board. The TAC provides a forum for discussion on regional issues and performs the essential function of reviewing and disseminating information. The TAC membership is a mix of planners and engineers who often need to coordinate internally and ultimately inform members of the Policy Board so they can make an appropriate final decision.
The TAC consists of each Policy Board member’s staff, representatives from the New Jersey Turnpike Authority (NJTA), and the Delaware River and Bay Authority (DRBA). The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Federal Transit Administration (FTA), South Jersey Economic Development District (SJEDD), and the Cross County Connection Transportation Management Association (CCCTMA) each have one non-voting representative on the TAC.
The TAC typically meets on the second Monday of each month. An annual reorganization meeting, at which an election of officers is conducted, is held in January. On occasion, TAC workshops on various transportation-related topics are held. Meeting dates are available below in the Upcoming Meetings tab. All TAC meetings are open to the public.
