This committee is tasked with evaluating all regional transportation planning materials and procedures, offering suggestions to the TPB when needed during the regional transportation planning stages.

The majority of the board's membership comprises officials from non-metropolitan areas or their representatives. Additionally, the board may include representatives from the State, private businesses, transportation service providers, economic development professionals, and the public within the region.
