RTC Standing Subcommittees

RTC Subcommittees are occasionally assembled to develop more comprehensive and expansive approaches needed to address the region’s multimodal/intermodal needs for both people and goods.  During these assemblies committee members will work to accomplish specific objectives including planning and funding leading to work addressing issues like:

• Reducing traffic congestion within corridors and bottlenecks between modes, increasing efficiency and safety, and improving air quality which at times require a more innovative and cohesive transportation approach.  
   
• Reviewing options for corridor selection, mode selection, corridor priorities, and funding associated to address and promote rail and intermodal facilities. 
   
• Researching options and dialogue on issues of common interest with the private sector to investigate opportunities for partnerships including questions to and from representatives of the private sector freight and potential high-speed rail providers.
