Stakeholders/committees
Stakeholder committees have been formed to provide updates and get feedback as the study progresses.
Business Advisory Committee (BAC)
The BAC gives the WisDOT team an avenue to share study information and obtain feedback from businesses along the corridor. This committee will provide a setting for members to provide feedback about the study’s communications approach, design needs, corridor issues, and environmental concerns and needs. The BAC includes large employers and business groups who can easily share study information with their employees and members.
Technical Advisory Committee (TAC)
Local and regional transportation and planning professionals comprise the TAC. This committee will provide technical information such as transportation and land use plans, utility locations, traffic volumes, public transportation routes, and general engineering and planning principles and policies.
Local Official Advisory Committee (LOAC)
Local and elected officials from the state, tribes, counties, cities, villages, other municipalities, and government agencies within the corridor will make up the LOAC. This committee will provide an opportunity for local leadership input on study aspects, including the need for the study, alternatives development and environmental impacts and benefits. The committee also provides valuable information about the study that local officials can share with their constituents and stakeholders.
