What does TPC mean in TRANSPORTATION

The Transportation Projects Commission is a commission in the United States responsible for providing financing for highway, bridge, public transit, rail, and related transportation projects. The commission is mainly composed of members from states, local governments, private industry stakeholders, and civic organizations.

Funding through the Transportation Projects Commission may be obtained through a variety of means including grants, loans and direct appropriations. Each program has its own set of requirements that must be met before being approved for funding.

The TPC finances a wide range of transportation-related projects such as highways, bridges, public transit systems, commuter rail services and more. It also funds projects such as planning activities for land use and development throughout a region or state.

This group reviews applications based on their merits and makes its recommendation regarding funding accordingly.
