A REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION PARTNERSHIP
October 30, 2015
Mr. Rob Frank
City of Ocoee
150 N. Lake Shore Drive
Ocoee, FL 34761
Dear Mr. Frank:
We'd like to ask that you make your staff appointments for 2016 to the MetroPlan Orlando Technical
Advisory Committee (TAC). Several weeks ago, you received a letter regarding appointments to the new
Community Advisory Committee. Thank you again for expediting those appointments. It is now time to
turn our attention to your TAC members.
As a reminder, beginning in January 2016, the MetroPlan Orlando Citizens' Advisory Committee and
Bicycle Et Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) will be merged into the Community Advisory Committee.
Because the new committee will be populated by citizens outside of the transportation industry, local
government staff currently serving on BPAC are not eligible to serve on the new group. Also beginning
in January, the TAC and its subcommittees will take on the technical work and analysis that has taken
place in BPAC up to this point. It would be an asset to your local government to have at least one primary
member or alternate with bicycle and pedestrian expertise to facilitate the transportation planning
process. Therefore, we are asking that you please consider bicycle and pedestrian interests when
making your 2016 appointments to the TAC.
For your consideration in making your TAC appointments, Rob McKey has been an active member of the
BPAC and has represented your jurisdiction well. You are free to appoint staff who are current BPAC
members to serve as primary members or alternates on our Technical Advisory Committee. Your
current appointment(s) to the TAC are listed in the table for reference.
Primary Member(s) Attendance Record Alternate(s)
Steve Krug Has attended 4 of 5 meetings this year Michael Rumer
Making sure bicycle and pedestrian issues continue to be top of mind is important to us as we complete
this committee transition. We encourage you to re-evaluate your appointees to the Technical Advisory
Committee to ensure that bicycle and pedestrian interests are represented. If you have any questions,
please feel free to contact Virginia Whittington at 407-481-5672 x314 or
VLWhittington @MetroPlanOrlando.com.
Sincerely,
61-0---1.-f—e-4. Iry.
