Public Transit-Human Services Coordinated Transportation Plan (CTP)

Federal transit law requires that projects selected for funding under the Enhanced Mobility for Individuals and Individuals with Disabilities Program (49 U.S.C. 5310) be “included in a locally developed, coordinated public transit-human services transportation plan.” The plan is required to be “developed and approved through a process that included participation by seniors, individuals with disabilities, representatives of public, private, and nonprofit transportation and human services providers and other members of the public” utilizing transportation services.

Transportation Technical Committee (TTC)

Our TTC deals exclusively with technical issues relating to transportation. It makes recommendations to SPC and the Policy Committee regarding the Transportation Improvement Program, transportation-related air quality plans, and transportation issues.

The Committee includes the planning directors of the ten SPC member counties, the City of Pittsburgh, and representatives of PennDOT Central Office, Pennsylvania DEP, and the PGH Regional Transit. Nonvoting members of the Committee include PennDOT District Offices, FHWA, FTA, EPA, and the Allegheny County Bureau of Air Pollution Control.
