New 15.10(b) prescribes the membership of a corridor segment
advisory committee. Members of a committee will be appointed
by counties, metropolitan planning organizations, and other en-
tities designated by the commission within whose boundaries or
service area all or part of a proposed segment is located. The
commission may appoint as a member individuals who reside or
have a business in the area in which a segment may be located,
and who have an interest in transportation. Having members ap-
pointed by those entities will ensure that a committee represents
the interests of local and regional groups that will best be able to
carry out the purposes of an advisory committee as prescribed
in 15.10(a).
New 15.10(c) prescribes the duties of a corridor segment advi-
sory committee. An advisory committee shall report to the exec-
utive director its advice and recommendations on transportation
improvements to be made in the segment of a corridor for which
it is created, including facilities to be included in a development
plan for that segment, facilities to be included in a development
plan for a segment of the Trans-Texas Corridor, and upgrades
and other improvements to be made to existing facilities located
in that segment, and on other segment level planning and de-
velopment matters as requested by the department. In devel-
oping advice and recommendations, an advisory committee will
evaluate economic, political, societal, and demographic popula-
tion trends affecting transportation, and will consider existing fa-
cilities, upgrades to existing facilities, new or planned facilities,
multimodal solutions, and available financing options.
New 15.10(d) provides that a corridor segment advisory com-
mittee is subject to the requirements for operating procedures
applicable to a department advisory committee under 43 TAC
1.85.
New 15.10(e) provides that a corridor segment advisory com-
mittee may be abolished at any time by the commission, but in
no event may a committee continue beyond completion of the
segment for which the committee is created. Except as other-
wise specified, an advisory committee created under 15.10 is
abolished December 31, 2011, unless the commission amends
its rules to provide for a different date.COMMENTS
