High Country Rural Transportation Planning Organization

The High Country Rural Transportation Planning Organization (RPO) is a collaborative effort between the counties of Alleghany, Ashe, Avery, Mitchell, Watauga, Wilkes, and Yancey; the incorporated municipalities in the seven counties; the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT); and the High Country (Region D) Council of Governments. The High Country RPO is involved in all aspects of transportation planning in the region, and operates through the actions of two committees - The Rural Transportation Coordinating Committee (RTCC), comprised of county, municipal, and NCDOT staff; and the Rural Transportation Advisory Committee (RTAC), comprised of county and municipal elected officials. Both committees meet on a quarterly basis during the months of February, May, and August except for the RTCC meeting in November and the RTAC meeting in December
 

The High Country Rural Transportation Planning Organization (RPO)’s Rural Transportation Coordinating Committee will meet at 10:00 AM on Wednesday November 19, 2008 in the High Country Council of Governments offices at 719A Greenway Road in Boone. The meeting is open to the public.
