New York Metropolitan Transportation Council
NYMTC provides a collaborative planning forum to address transportation-related issues, develop regional plans and make decisions on future transportation needs in the region.
Created in 1982 as the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for New York City, Long Island, and the lower Hudson Valley, NYMTC provides a collective way to address transportation-related issues from a regional perspective; undertakes studies for transportation improvements; forecasts future conditions and needs; pools the resources and expertise of its member agencies to plan for transportation and development in the region; and makes decisions on the use of federal transportation funds.
Organizational Chart
NYMTC is made up of Voting and Advisory Members; the Program, Finance and Administration Committee (PFAC); Central Staff; and three subregional Transportation Coordinating Committees (TCCs).
