Scotty hit it in the open thread for this month, but I want to reinforce it – Metro is taking applications for three seats on TPAC – the “Transportation Policy Alternatives Committee”.

As I suspect I’ve mentioned before, TPAC is one of the places where I got my education in transportation policy. Six citizens have the opportunity to sit with transportation staffers from jurisdictions all over the region and help frame up choices for the elected officials on JPACT.

I can’t think of a better way to get a handle on all the ins and outs of transportation in our region, and you have a chance to inject some reality into the process…
