MWBPP Working Groups
From time to time, a Partnership’s Board or Steering Committee may appoint working groups of persons possessing special knowledge or expertise for the development of programs, tasks, and activities, or to perform other actions which promote the objectives of the Partnership.
For their duration, each of the working groups will have a leader(s), a defined work scope, a list of deliverable items, and an expected completion date.

We plan to develop this project as a Transportation Pooled Fund Study (TPF), funded and managed by the MWBPP Work Group. |
