MVRPC Structure
MVRPC currently has 78 members that constitute the full Board of Directors. From this Group, a 19 member Executive Committee is also chosen.
The Technical Advisory Committee is a permanent committed appointed by members of the Commission to represent their respective organizations, that is responsible for working with the Executive Director and to advise the Board of Directors on technical issues or other delegated and assigned matters.
The table of organization lists the MVRPC professional staff who assist the Board and committees to work on the Region's priorities.
Other Committees
The Citizen Advisory Committee (CAC) serves as a standing committee for the purpose of reviewing and providing comments on all action items brought before the MVRPC Board of Directors that require public involvement. Board action items requiring public input will require CAC meetings as part of the public involvement process.
The Air Quality Advisory Committee (AQAC) was formed to weigh the alternatives available to clean up our Miami Valley Air, as part of the SIP process. The AQAC is composed of representatives from many sectors of our community, including health advocates, industry and business representatives, air quality regulators, environmental advocates and academia.
The Areawide Facility Planning Subcommittee (AFPSC) aids in the development and/or review of Facility Plan update guidelines, the technical review of individual Facility Plan update proposals, and the provision of input on such proposals. Input on individual Facility Plan and/or Facility Planning Area Update proposals from the AFCSC input will be forwarded to MVRPC's Technical Advisory Committee for additional review and input.
Financial structure
Each unit of local government member pays a per capita assessment to join MVRPC. Non-governmental and other governmental members, since they do not receive agency services as a member benefit, pay a flat rate to cover associated agency expenses.
MVRPC's 2005 operating expenses totalled $3.4 million. Transportation planning accounted for 73% of the total expenditures. Overall revenue came from a variety of sources, including 70% from federal grants, 14% from member dues, 13% from non-Federal grants, and 3% from miscellaneous revenues.
In 2004, nearly $98 million was received by our Region for roadway, transit, bikeway and pedestrian projects monitored by MVRPC. That means that for every dollar of Local Matching (Members’ Dues) invested in MVRPC planning, $658 is received in Federal and State project funding.
