The Joint Transportation Committee (JTC) was created during the 2005 Legislative Session.  The purpose of the Committee is to review and research transportation programs and issues to better inform state and local government policymakers, including legislators.

The JTC's executive committee consists of the chairs and ranking members of the House Transportation Committee and the Senate Transportation Committee.  The chairs of the House and Senate Transportation Committees serve as co-chairs of the JTC.  Other legislators who are not JTC members may serve on JTC working groups depending on the subject matter of the committee's oversight and research projects.
