Charge

Provide a conduit for communication between local elected officials and regional Transportation agencies. The Executive Committee of the Council of Mayors was formed in 1981 to provide a link among the councils and also between the councils and the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO). The executive committee was organized to formalize and strengthen the input from the region's municipalities regarding regional Transportation planning and programming decisions. The committee helps to develop policies to assist the region in meeting air quality and Transportation planning requirements and to assure regional equity in planning and funding decisions.
