- 2. Composition of the GCLMPO The GCLMPO is organized primarily by two boards which govern us and helps shape projects for our tri- county area. The GCLMPO’s Governing Board is com- posed of elected officials from participating jurisdictions, the area’s DOT representative and a advisory non-voting member from FHWA. This board reviews proposed pro- jects for the area and votes on the current plan enacted by the GCLMPO. The second board over the GCLMPO is the Technical Coordinating Committee (TCC). The TCC is comprised of officials from participating jurisdictions, NCDOT, FHWA, and other agencies interested in trans- portation planning. The TCC is tasked with supervising and coordinating the transportation planning process by making technical recommendations to the Board. Sub- committees are an essential component to what we do. Subcommittees like the Bicycle-Pedestrian Subcommit- tee. The Bicycle-Pedestrian Subcommittee, like many of our subcommittees, targets specific areas within transpor- tation, engages the community about what problems face that area of transportation and provides a platform to raise those concerns to officials. How Do We Serve You? The Gaston-Cleveland-Lincoln Metropolitan Planning Organization serves the citizens of the tri-county region in many ways. With important projects like widening of I-85 and constructing a bypass for Shelby US-74, the GCLMPO aims to creating a safe and fast commute within the region. Not only do we plan for the future, but we also face the transportation challenges citi- zens face today. The GCLMPO also offers pub- lic transit through Gastonia Transit and other affiliates. We work diligently with CATS to provide our citizens ample opportunities to reach areas of Charlotte for work and play. Here at the GCLMPO, our main goal is to pro- vide safe means of transportation while com- mitting ourselves to creating smooth, operating corridors that carry users to and from areas in the quickest manner possible. Who is the GCLMPO? The Gaston-Cleveland-Lincoln Metropolitan Planning Organization (GCLMPO) is the agency in which has been tasked to plan and monitor transportation system for the three county area. The City of Gastonia, along with its affiliate municipalities, provide services to 384,836 citizens spanning 1,140 square mile area. These services range from planning facili- ties for transportation like roadways, green- ways and sidewalks, collecting data for poten- tial projects, and helping diagnose problems related to transportation. Together, with the help of our municipality members, investing in our transportation facilities creates opportuni- ties for the future. Contact Us 150 S.
