Part of the recommendation included the creation of a Policy Advisory Council (PAC) that would directly advise the Board regarding Measure M guidelines and the Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP).

This PAC would not vote on single positions but would provide broad input from all perspectives represented in the PAC. Through outreach to all representatives in this coalition, a proposed slate of representatives and alternates for the PAC has been developed (Attachment B).
