To: 

Executive Committee

From:

Christina Watson, Director of Planning

Meeting Date:

October 5, 2016

Subject:

Legislative Program


RECOMMENDED ACTION:

REVIEW and DISCUSS draft 2017 Legislative Program.

SUMMARY:

The purpose of the legislative program is to set general principles to guide staff and Board responses to proposed legislative or budgetary issues. The program also notifies state representatives of the Transportation Agency’s position on issues of key importance to the agency.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The recommended action has no direct financial impact.

DISCUSSION:

The 2016 TAMC Legislative Program (attached) focused on maintaining and augmenting transportation funding. The 2017 legislative program will likely continue this focus on transportation funding. The draft program will go to the Board of Directors in December for review, to all committees in January for comment, and the final program will go to the Board in January for adoption. Staff recommends this Committee discuss the 2016 program and legislative priorities to pursue in 2017.
