The latest addition to our growing list of MTT members is the Metropolitan Affairs Council (MAC). The council, which is a sister organization of the Southeastern Michigan Council of Governments (SEMCOG), is composed of business, labor and government members who are in broad support of transportation infrastructure funding.

According to their website:

The Metropolitan Affairs Coalition (MAC), a non-profit public/private partnership, is the only group that brings business, labor, government, and education leaders together to build consensus and seek solutions to regional issues. It promotes regional cooperation and dialogue, and works to advance policies and develop programs that enhance the region’s economic vitality and quality of life.
