RPA 10
ECICOG also serves as the Regional Planning Affiliation serving Benton, Cedar, Jones, Linn, Iowa, and Washington Counties outside of the Corridor MPO and the MPO of Johnson County.
Region 10 Regional Planning Affiliation (RPA) was established in 1995. Iowa DOT established RPAs as an effort to provide for local government participation in the planning process. ECICOG serves as staff for RPA 10, which includes ECICOG’s traditional member counties and Cedar County. On behalf of RPA 10, the role of ECICOG is to staff transportation committee meetings; coordinate transportation planning activities for the region; prepare plans and studies, including a Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP); support the application and programming process for projects that use federal transportation funds; and assist cities and counties with grant applications.
Pursuant to Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended the Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1987 and other nondiscrimination authorities, it is the policy of the East Central Iowa Council of Governments (ECICOG) that discrimination based on race, color, national origin, sex, age, disability or income status shall not occur in connection with any of its programs or activities.
RPA 10 COMMITTEES
RPA 10 is governed by a Policy Committee consisting of 14 officials from member jurisdictions. The Policy Committee is responsible for establishing overall policy, making transportation planning-related decisions, prioritizing programming, and monitoring regional transportation conditions. Policy Committee representatives are appointed by the affiliated county boards of supervisors. The Policy Committee has established three advisory committees to assist in the planning process – the Transportation Technical Advisory Committee (TTAC), the Regional Trails Advisory Committee (RTAC), and the Passenger Transportation Advisory Committee (PTAC). Committee members are appointed by the Board of Supervisors from each affiliated county.
