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.
NYMTC is made up of Voting and Advisory Members; the Program, Finance and Administration Committee (PFAC); Central Staff; and three subregional Transportation CoordinationCommittees (TCCs).
