Tri-County Regional Planning Commission
Established in 1958, TCRPC serves as the Regional Planning Commission for the Tri-County Region of Peoria, Tazewell, and Woodford Counties, located in Central Illinois. Effective July 1, 2021, TCRPC also serves as the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for the Peoria-Pekin Metropolitan Area. The Commission consists of 21 members: 13 representatives from 11 municipalities, two representatives from each of the three counties, one representative from the Illinois Department of Transportation, and one representative from the Greater Peoria Mass Transit District.
The Full Commission meets on the first Wednesday of every month at 9:00 am, unless otherwise posted. To view future meeting dates and meeting materials, please visit our Meeting Materials page.
Standing Committees
The Commission may establish committees to assist in the operation, management, and program planning activities of TCRPC. Committees may focus on internal operations (e.g. Ways and Means Committee, Personnel Committee) or may focus on a specific issue or project. All committees are made up of Commissioners.
The Executive Board serves as the policy and formulation body for the Commission. The Executive Board consists of eight Commissioners appointed by the full board. All Executive Board members serve one-year terms. The executive director of TCRPC also serves as a non-voting, advisory member to the Executive Board. The Executive Board may perform most of the functions and duties of the Commission, should a full quorum of Commission members not be present. The Executive Board meets on the third Monday of each month at 9:00 am, unless otherwise posted.
The Ways and Means Committee reviews and advises the Commission on the fiscal affairs of the Commission. The Ways and Means Committee meets the third Monday of every month before the full commission meeting from 8:30-9:00 am unless otherwise posted.
The Personnel Committee reviews and advises the Commission on personnel matters, and carries out other responsibilities as specified by the Commission. The Personnel Committee only meets when needed.
The Nominations Committee nominates Commissioners to serve in officer positions and to serve on committees. The Nominations Committee meets yearly–typically in the month of May–to prepare nominations for the coming fiscal year, unless otherwise posted.

Metropolitan Planning Organization
From 1976 to 2021, the Peoria-Pekin Urbanized Area Transportation Study (PPUATS) served as the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for the Peoria‑Pekin Metropolitan Area. PPUATS was composed of two committees: the Policy Committee and the Technical Committee. Effective July 1, 2021, the PPUATS Policy Committee merged with TCRPC. Following the merger, TCRPC assumed the role, duties, and responsibilities of the MPO. The Technical Committee continues to prepare, review, and recommend actions to TCRPC for approval.
