Committees (ITTC, ITPC & CAC)
The metropolitan transportation planning process requires a unified voice among the planning partners. Policy direction is provided through a committee structure that consists of the Intermodal Transportation Policy Committee (ITPC), the Intermodal Transportation Technical Committee (ITTC) and several advisory committees and subcommittees.
The ITPC is responsible for regional transportation policy and decisions that include adoption of the long-range metropolitan transportation plan and short-range transportation improvement programs. Its voting membership includes elected officials from city, town and county governments within the region and representatives from ODOT, the transit authorities and the Oklahoma City Airport Trust. Federal aviation, transit and highway officials are also included as non-voting ITPC members.
The policy committee is supported by a technical committee generally comprised of city engineers, traffic managers, and city/county planners. This committee also includes representation from state and local agencies responsible for all modes of travel and environmental quality. Other federal, tribal, modal and military interests are also represented on the ITTC as non-voting members. The ITTC provides technical expertise on transportation plans and programs and serves as a recommending body to the ITPC.
The MPO utilizes numerous advisory committees and subcommittees to focus on specific aspects of the planning process including air quality, transit programs, bicycle and pedestrian interests, congestion reduction and intelligent transportation systems planning. With each update of the long-range transportation plan, a Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) participates in the review and development of all phases of the plan and provides its recommendations directly to the ITPC.
