The CAG consists of community leaders (Mayor or Manager from each of the eight communities in the study area and the Chairman or representative from Cook & DuPage Counties) that are directly affected by the study, and who have authority to speak on their communities behalf. The CAG will represent the views of the communities and counties within the project area. The responsibilities of this group include providing input to the study process, and reaching a consensus at key project milestones (e.g., project purpose and need, range of alternatives to be advanced for detailed study, and the recommended alternative(s).
The Task Force (TF) provides a means for obtaining structured input from a diverse set of stakeholders. The two TF categories (Transportation/Engineering and Land Use /Environmental) intend to focus on technical aspects of the project development and provide external information and input with respect to transportation, engineering, land use, and environmental topics.
The TF’s will meet as needed, and be comprised of stakeholders within these categories. The TF members may include CAG members or designated staff and other governmental bodies, transportation agencies, or interest groups.
