What is TPAC?

By RCH | Jan 10, 2024

The Wake County Transit Planning Advisory Committee (TPAC) coordinates the planning and implementation of the Wake Transit Plan. The TPAC serves a structured advisory role to the governing boards that share responsibility for overseeing the Wake Transit Plan: the Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization’s (CAMPO) Executive Board; and, the GoTriangle Board of Trustees.

TPAC Subcommittees may help complete tasks in certain topic areas. There are two active subcommittees: 1) Program Development; and, 2) Community Engagement. The subcommittees may finalize draft materials from the lead agencies and workgroups after development or review. They may also vote on whether to send items to the TPAC for further consideration or action. The TPAC also appoints working groups to examine specific topics.

Voting members of the TPAC include: CAMPO, GoTriangle, Wake County, City of Raleigh, Town of Cary, Town of Apex, Town of Fuquay-Varina, Town of Garner, Town of Holly Springs, Town of Knightdale, Town of Morrisville, Town of Rolesville, Town of Wake Forest, Town of Wendell, Town of Zebulon, North Carolina State University, and the Research Triangle Foundation of North Carolina.
