Background
The Planning Committee is comprised of transportation and planning professionals, appointed by GTC Board members representing the nine surrounding counties, the City of Rochester, and representatives of other local, regional, state and federal transportation-related agencies.  Considering input from other committees, the Planning Committee reviews and recommends action on activities and work products to the GTC Board for final approval. 

The United States Department of Transportation requires every metropolitan area with a population over 50,000 to have a designated MPO to qualify for receipt of federal highway and transit funds. GTC is the MPO for the nine-county region, which includes Genesee, Livingston, Monroe, Ontario, Orleans, Seneca, Wayne, Wyoming, and Yates counties.

The Board provides direction to the staff, establishes policy, and approves all activities and major work products, including the Long Range Transportation Plan, Unified Planning Work Program, and Transportation Improvement Program which detail how federal transportation funding is used in the greater Rochester planning area.
 

GTC will provide accommodations for anybody who wishes to participate in this planning project/program despite disability or proficiency in English. Please contact GTC at (585) 232-6240 or send email to contactgtc@gtcmpo.org to arrange for assistance.
