Tri-County Regional Planning Commission
Boards & Committees
The Tri‑County Regional Planning Commission (TCRPC) carries out its work through a Commission and several boards and committees that provide leadership, oversight, and technical expertise. These bodies support both TCRPC’s role as a Regional Planning Commission and its responsibilities as the region’s Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO). Together, these boards and committees ensure that planning decisions are informed, transparent, and representative of the communities served.
Full Commission
The Full Commission is the primary decision-making body of TCRPC. It sets policy direction, adopts plans and programs, and oversees the overall operations of the organization. In its transportation planning role, the Full Commission also serves as the Policy Committee for the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO).

All MPO‑related items, including the approval, amendment, or adoption of federally required transportation plans, programs, funding actions, or policy decisions, must be acted upon by the Full Commission with a quorum present, in accordance with federal metropolitan planning requirements.
