Regional Transportation Advisory Committee (RTAC)

The NJTPA is supported in its work by an advisory committee composed of staff-level, county and municipal planners and engineers who mirror the county, state and federal government voting and non-voting composition of the NJTPA Board of Trustees. This is the Regional Transportation Advisory Committee (RTAC).

The RTAC provides a forum for presentation and discussion on regional issues. It also performs a vital function in reviewing and disseminating information, and making recommendations to the NJTPA Board and its individual Trustees to aid in decision making.

Additionally, RTAC members complement the work of and assist Central Staff by providing local input on a variety of issues of regionwide importance. RTAC members also serve an important role in advising Central Staff on the localized impacts of projects and programs.
