Governance
CAMPO is governed by its CAMPO Transportation Policy Board (the CAMPO board) composed of state, regional, and local officials.
The CAMPO board has 19 voting members, consisting mostly of elected politicians. The board Chairman is currently Travis County Judge Sam Biscoe. Of the elected officials one is a county representative, two are county judges, three are city council members, five are county commissioners, and six are mayors. The two unelected officials represent the Capital Metro transportation authority and the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) Austin district.
The board typically meets the second Monday of each month at 6:00 p.m. Meetings are typically held on the University of Texas campus in the Joe C. Thompson Conference Center auditorium.
