| The Freight Transportation Advisory Committee, or FTAC, is the
industry’s advisory panel to the MPO that advises the
MPO Board on
freight movement and truck traffic needs. Until recently, freight
transportation issues had not been formally and systematically addressed
by most MPOs to consider roadway improvements that must be made for
safety and freight efficiency. The role of freight, especially trucks,
still remains absolutely essential for getting the goods from the
producer to the distributor and finally to retail centers and consumers.
The FTAC is actively pursuing candidates from the industry in
freight, logistics, shipping, trucking, warehousing, and intermodal
areas for membership appointments by MPO
Governing Board members.
Become a volunteer member of the Freight Transportation Advisory
Committee by e-mailing Larry
Foutz, FTAC Coordinator and Transportation Systems Manager, or
by calling him at 305.375.4507.
If you are a member of the freight industry, or are interested in
improving freight movement, we welcome you to submit your name for
nomination to our committee. |
