Council


If you are involved in a state or local organization that wants to increase sound public and/or private investments in transportation mobility, access and safety, you’ll want to become a member of…

The Transportation Investment Advocates Council™

What is the Council?

The “Transportation Investment Advocates Council™” (TIAC) is a national network of more than 70 business professionals and public officials who share a common interest in building support for transportation infrastructure investments in their state or local community—roads, bridges, public transit, pedestrian walkways and cycling paths, airports, waterways, ports and rail facilities.

The Council provides regional and national forums for networking and sharing information that will help you meet your objective—campaign strategies… tactics… messaging… opinion and economic research… legislative and ballot language… what’s worked and what hasn’t.

TIAC members interact with and learn from others who work for national, state and local better transportation groups and coalitions… chambers of commerce… state legislatures and civic bodies… public agencies… and other interested firms and organizations.

The Council is co-chaired by:

  • Maria Fuentes, executive director of the Maine Better Transportation Association
  • Seth Millican, executive director of the Georgia Transportation Alliance
