Committees
SPATS Plans and Programs are voted on by committees. The overarching committee for SPATS is the SPATS Policy Committee. This committee is responsible for voting on all plans and programs. Before reaching the Policy Committee, plans and programs are evaluated by the Technical Committee. There are also committees that oversee each program, whose recommendations must ultimately also be voted on by the Policy Committee. Other committees at this time are the Enhancement Committee and the Transit Planning Committee.
In addition to committees within SPATS, SPATS staff also serve on various boards and committees.
Policy Committee
The SPATS Policy Committee is the decision making body of the Spartanburg Area Transportation Study and is primarily comprised of elected officials representing municipal, county and state governing bodies within the study area.
Technical Committee
The Technical Committee is responsible for the preparation of the Long-Range Transportation Plan, the Transportation Improvement Program, and the Unified Planning Work Program.
Enhancement Committee
The mission of the Enhancement Committee is to provide the citizens of Spartanburg County with non-traditional transportation activities that will preserve and beautify the county transportation network, adding to the general quality of life.
Bike and Pedestrian Committee
With the adoption of the Spartanburg Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan by Spartanburg City and County Councils in December 2009, the need arose for a group of people to help implement the Bike and Pedestrian Plan. The membership and work-plan are under development as the plan is adopted by other municipalities in Spartanburg.
Transit Planning Committee
The Spartanburg Transit Planning Committee is a group of representatives from various organizations in the community that is guiding the process for the creation of the Transit Master Plan.
