  • Establishing clear success measures for the Transportation Mobility Strategy work effort from the community's perspective;
  • Reviewing and commenting on the consultant's work products;
  • Making recommendations on the final plan to the City Council;
  • Serving as ambassadors for the project; and
  • Making a recommendation on how to provide formalized, on-going citizen involvement in transportation issues.

The committee held their final meeting on Monday, May 11, 2009.
