Participate openly and honestly, while respecting the opinions of other group members.

Endorse the roles of the group, as outlined above.

Membership

It is important that the CAG be a representative cross section of stakeholder types and groups in the vicinity of the corridor. Membership typically includes volunteers from the following groups:

Local and County Government

Area Communities

Environmental Groups

Police and Fire Districts

School Districts

Business Organizations

Religious Organizations

Transportation Related Organizations

Area Homeowners Associations

Bicycling Groups

Individual Residents

These groups represent large numbers of people who will have a stake in the outcome of the study. Therefore, their representation is an important part of the study process and its ultimate outcome. We expect that the CAG will meet approximately eight times over the course of the Study.
