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
Others, as they are identified
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.
