Stakeholders
The R5RTCC or Region 5 Regional Transportation Coordinating Council Board consists of 21 board members and ranges from County Commissioners to Veteran Service Officers, to Transit Providers and beyond. The ability to have board members from different areas of transportation, as well as different counties, helps bring new ideas to the table along with task implementation.
