TCC-Transportation Co-Op Committee

The Transportation Co‑Op Committee has been in existence for over 50 years, dating back to the 1960s. It serves as a statewide forum for cities, counties, regional transportation planning agencies (RTPAs/MPOs), Caltrans, and FHWA to collaborate on policy, delivery, and technical issues related to the Federal‑aid Highway Program. The Committee includes representatives from California Cities, Counties, RTPA/MPOs, the Rural Counties Task Force, Caltrans, FHWA, and the California Transportation Commission. Local agency representatives are selected by the League of California Cities, CSAC/CEAC, and CalCOG/RTPA.

Beginning in May 2026, the TCC relaunched its work with quarterly, in‑person meetings in Sacramento to support regular coordination among state and local partners.

This webpage contains current meeting information for the Transportation Co‑Op Committee, including the roster, bylaws, schedule, agendas, materials, and meeting notes.

2026 Prioritization Survey

In July 2026, the Transportation Co‑Op Committee launched a Prioritization Survey to inform agenda development and focus areas for FY 2026–27. The survey was sent to all TCC members on July 3, 2026.

Survey results were synthesized and rolled up by theme, then used during the August 10, 2026, TCC meeting to:

  • identify top priority actions for FY 26–27 within each subject area,
  • form sub‑working groups to develop implementation steps,
  • launch the Agenda Planning Committee with data-driven priorities,

Background

In preparation for the 2016 CEAC/League of Cities Joint Spring Conference taking place March 9-11, 2016, in Sacramento, the California Transportation Coop Committee (TCC) invites your participation in a survey that will help TCC and Caltrans Local Assistance to assess the effectiveness of their efforts in improving the Local Assistance process and to collect new ideas for continued improvements. 

At the 2013 Joint CEAC/Public Works Officers Spring Conference, TCC hosted a facilitated breakout session asking for input on what needed improvement to facilitate the administration of Federal-aid projects. More than 100 ideas were proposed during the discussion. Ideas generated from that discussion were categorized into five areas:

  • Funding
  • Design
  • Environmental
  • Right of Way
  • Construction

After the conference, five teams composed of city, county, regional agency, and Caltrans staff worked to further clarify the concept and develop solutions. For your reference, a copy of the 2013 action plan is available on the Caltrans Local Assistance Website under Announcements or can be downloaded here.

In this pre-conference survey, you will have an opportunity to tell us how well you feel these 2013 ideas got implemented and suggest new areas the TCC can focus its attention to help further improve the Federal-aid process. To keep the survey short and effective, we are seeking feedback only on some of the Action Ideas under "Caltrans Policy Change" group that we believe address most common issues.

This survey is meant to look for input beyond the past or upcoming conference, so this is for all interested parties to participate. All input is valued. It doesn’t matter if you missed the earlier conference, or will not be attending the next one. We still need to hear from you to understand what your current concerns are and what can be targeted for improvement.
