Regional Transportation Decision Making

Hundreds of elected and appointed officials are in positions that directly impact the Metro area transportation system. How do we know if they are working together, working on the same set of goals, or working with local communities to guide policies and spending to move Minnesota forward? Without a clear picture of where we're going and who's making the decisions, it becomes nearly impossible for community members to participate in the decision making process.

TLC not only monitors progress, but strives to make connections between decision makers, constituents and other key stakeholders.
