The Planning and Coordination Council (PACC) asked CAMPO staff to review and recommend opportunities for improved communication, coordination and collaboration on transit matters

• Building the CITY/COUNTY Relationship. The PARTNERSHIP will help the region build relationships and momentum for future successes.
• Create a formal means of sharing information. Created by an MOU, the PARTNERSHIP will create and maintain a formal mechanism for exchanging information between transit providers, localities and other stakeholders.
• Address pressing issues immediately. The PARTNERSHIP will provide immediate attention to pressing concerns and issues, as laid out in the Regional Coordination Study, conducted by STAFF.
• Facilitate transit planning. The PARTNERSHIP will provide recommendations, assessments and guidance on transit-related matters to the CITY, COUNTY and PUBLIC TRANSIT OPERATORS.
• Integrating transit into other decision-making. The PARTNERSHIP will ensure that transit will receive increased consideration in regional and local planning efforts.
• Test an RTA structure. The PARTNERSHIP will provide a probationary version of a Regional Transit Authority (RTA) that allows all parties to become more familiar with the concept of a consolidated transit system.
• Preparing for an RTA. Within the PARTNERSHIP, the region will have a venue for negotiating and studying an RTA that could benefit all partners in the region.
