  • Plan and facilitate meetings with the CMP Committee.
  • Maintain and improve online tools and dashboards that communicate transportation system performance to stakeholders, decision-makers, and the public.
  • Work with transportation agencies and other partners to collect and analyze data and advance strategies to improve transportation system performance.
