Transportation Advisory Committee Redwood City Community Development and Transportation Department STAFF REPORT JUNE 8, 2021 Work Plan Update Description: Establishing Board, Committee, and Commission (BCC) work plans helps every BCC focus on goals and projects aligned with the City Council’s priorities. The Committee’s work should align with the City’s strategic priorities and adopted policies and plans. This year, the City Council reaffirmed its commitment to address challenges around housing, transportation, and children/youth. In 2018, the City adopted a citywide transportation plan, RWCmoves, which highlights the community’s transportation priorities and includes a prioritized list of potential programs and projects. The TAC created an ad hoc subcommittee to develop an updated work plan for the full committee’s consideration. The purpose of this agenda item is to: Finalize changes to the proposed draft work plan (see Attachment 1) Add committee member names to specific work plan tasks Add committee member names to liaison assignments (see Attachment 2) This will inform the committee’s ongoing work and be presented to the City Council for their approval this summer (tentatively scheduled for July 19). Staff Recommendation: Approve the proposed work plan and present it to the City Council of Redwood City for their approval.
