A complete list of the federal, state, and local agencies involved in the Draft EIS process will be available in the Bottineau Transitway Coordination Plan, which will be posted on this website soon. Some of the most active local agency partners participate on the Bottineau Transitway Policy Advisory Committee (PAC), Citizen Advisory Committee (CAC) and the Advise, Review, and Coordinate Committee (ARCC):

Advise, Review, and Communicate Committee (ARCC): ARCC members are technical staff from agencies convened to advise project development. The ARCC provides advice regarding local governmental perspectives, issues of concern, technical methodologies, and study process details. The ARCC is comprised of staff from Hennepin County, the cities of Brooklyn Park, Crystal, Golden Valley, New Hope, Maple Grove, Minneapolis, Osseo, and Robbinsdale; Maple Grove Transit; the Metropolitan Council, Metro Transit, MnDOT; and project consultants.

Community Advisory Committee (CAC): Members represent communities, businesses, and institutions in the Bottineau Transitway study area. CAC members provide a conduit for integrating the values and perspectives of citizens, communities, businesses and institutions into the study process.

Policy Advisory Committee (PAC): PAC members are elected offi cials, key policy leaders for participating agencies, business leaders, and institutional leaders, convened to review project development progress and advise progress toward identifying a locally preferred alternative.
