Surface Transportation Committee
The Surface Transportation Committee maintains a leadership
role in street and highway improvement projects. The committee hosts regular
meetings with leadership of local, state and public works agencies, sponsors
an annual transportation forum and represents the NDCC in DART issues
and projects. Its LBJ/High Five Task Force meets regularly with representatives
of the Texas Department of Transportation for updates on this planned
reconstruction projects of LBJ Freeway and the Dallas
High Five.
Whether it involves highways or railways, there are always
political landmines in taking a position on transportation issues. The
chamber has not been deterred by such risks and has often played the role
of consensus builder. No matter what mode of transportation, the chamber
has demonstrated its willingness to fight for easy access throughout Dallas.
The organization has been known as the "Transportation Chamber" and understands
the importance of mobility. The Surface Transportation Committee and LBJ/High
Five Task Force are open to all members and meet alternately on the second
Tuesday of the month at 7:30 a.m.
