Liaison Activity
The Transportation Board has, over the past few years, proactively provided liaisons from the
Board to other boards and commissions. In 2022 this included the Planning & Zoning Commission,
which has the Transportation Board as a standing agenda item at their work sessions. This allowed
the T-Board to provide updates directly to P&Z and likewise gather information from those meeting
to report back to the larger Board. Council has recognized these efforts.
