Clark County-Springfield Transportation Coordinating Committee

The TCC is the metropolitan planning organization (MPO) for transportation in Clark County, Ohio as designated by the Ohio Department of Transportation acting in behalf of the Governor in accordance with federal law. The TCC is composed of local elected and appointed officials, transportation professionals, and citizen members. The TCC reviews and approves plans and programs involving expenditures of federal-aid transportation funds in Clark County. As the MPO, the TCC must fulfill the requirements of the planning regulations for the Clark County - Springfield area to maintain eligibility for Federal highway and transit funds through the Ohio Department of Transportation. This includes planning for a multi-modal transportation system. The extensive multi-use trail system in Clark County is in part a result of this dedication to planning for a multi-modal transportation network.

Bike on the Bus: get there with a little help from RTA

Not every street in Dayton has a bike lane. And not every park or attraction is directly accessible by bike path. When that happens, take advantage of how simple and quick it is to load your bike on the front of any RTA fixed route bus and make a connection to your destination. For no extra charge, you can load up, relax in your climate-controlled seat, and travel just about anywhere in Montgomery County as well as parts of Greene County.
