Transportation Policy Board (TPB)

The Transportation Policy Board furnishes policy guidance and direction for CAMPO. Ultimate responsibility for the total transportation process including, but not limited to, review and approval of the recommended transportation plan and transportation improvement program rests with the Transportation Policy Board.

Executive Committee

The Executive Committee is made up of members of the Transportation Policy Board. The Executive Committee makes recommendations on transportation planning issues as directed by the Transportation Policy Board.

Budget, Audit and Finance Committee

Finance Committee

CHARGE: The charge of the CAMPO Finance Committee is to:

1. Work with CAMPO staff to understand how state and federal funding is allocated to the CAMPO region, identify and understand the implications of the funding allocations, and to help develop recommendations for maximizing the use of available funding;
2. Work with CAMPO staff to develop the long range financial forecast needed for the CAMPO long range transportation plan;
3. Work with CAMPO staff to provide input into the long range financial forecasts and Unified Transportation Program developed and managed by the Texas Department of Transportation;
4. Work with CAMPO staff to identify and evaluate funding options for transportation in the CAMPO region, including studying mobility financing strategies in other regions and reporting on the approaches used;

Regionally Significant Project Committee

CAMPO Board Technical Advisory Committee

Technical Advisory Committee

The Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) is comprised of representatives of cities, counties, and transportation providers in the CAMPO area. The membership of the TAC is to be comprised of directors of departments or agencies with responsibilities related to transportation system planning and/or engineering.

The following is the March 10, 2003 Policy Board motion appointing the CAMPO TAC:
"Each jurisdiction should appoint a transportation/planning department head and an alternate for the TAC. The TAC is charged with making recommendations to the TPB on the CAMPO Long Range Plan and Transportation Improvement Program, as well as other related technical issues. The TAC is appointed for one year from this date at which time it will be evaluated by the TPB to review its function and determine if it should continue operation or be modified in some way."

Transit Working Group

CHARGE: The charge for the CAMPO Transit Working Group is to analyze and evaluate the potential for rail in Central Texas, and the optimal role for rail as part of a comprehensive regional transportation plan that also includes new roads, toll roads, rapid buses, traditional bus service, and other modes of transportation.

The working group should consider and expand on CAMPO's past and ongoing programs, processes and commitments, including those adopted by the Transportation Policy Board in October 2007 as part of the Transportation Improvement Plan, to build out transportation corridors, reduce vehicle miles traveled, utilize land-use tools, and achieve other public benefits and dividends.

It also should coordinate with City of Austin staff, CAMPO, Capital Metro, appropriate Central Texas counties or cities, the University of Texas, the State of Texas, the Austin/San Antonio Corridor Council, and the CTRMA to identify options for routes, modes, financing mechanisms, and operating strategies. Financing options must be considered and evaluated. The Working Group, at its discretion, may choose to recommend specific routes and modal alternatives.
