The work of the French Broad River MPO is guided by two committees: the Technical Coordinating Committee (TCC) and the MPO Board, previously known as Transportation Advisory Committee (TAC) who acts as the guiding body of the MPO.
MPO Board
The members of the Board are elected officials from each of the 21 local governments, and representatives from the NCDOT Board of Transportation. The structure of the MPO is formalized in a Memorandum of Understanding, which is signed by each of the MPO’s 21 member governments, the North Carolina Department of Transportation, and Land-of-Sky Regional Council, which serves as the Lead Planning Agency for the MPO. The Board is responsible for final approval of the Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP), the Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), the Priority Needs List, and the Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP).
The Board also serves as a forum for public input.

Prioritization Subcommittee
The MPO Prioritization Subcommittee was created by the FBRMPO Board in 2013 to develop SPOT (TIP) project prioritization and selection criteria recommendations. In addition to project prioritization, the subcommittee assists MPO staff with developing and initiating other agenda items to go before the TCC and Board. The Prioritization Subcommittee meetings are open to the public. To be added to the Prioritization Subcommittee mailing list, contact mpo@landofsky.org.
Pedestrian and Bicycle Advisory Committee
The Pedestrian and Bicycle Advisory Committee (PBAC) is established to advise the French Broad River Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) on matters related to bicycle and pedestrian transportation, safety, and multimodal planning. The PBAC shall serve as a forum for community input and stakeholder perspectives on active transportation issues and shall provide recommendations to MPO staff, the Technical Coordinating Committee (TCC), and the MPO Board
