| Transportation Advisory Committee In 2001, the City Council created the Transportation Advisory Commission to review all transportation policy and safety matters in the City.
According to the City Code the Commission shall review policies concerning all forms of transportation affecting the City such as conventional vehicles, transit, alternative modes (i.e. pedestrian and bicycles), commercial vehicles, and attendant amenities.
A core responsibility shall be serving as a sounding board for citizens’ traffic, pedestrian and safety issues and making recommendations to Council or staff for appropriate action. The Commission shall coordinate with and solicit feedback from the School Department Transportation Committee regarding sidewalk and crosswalk safety issues on a quarterly basis.
The Commission shall aid in the development of the City Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) by soliciting citizen input on needed projects for submission to the Planning Board and City Council.
"Further, the Commission shall study issues arising under the City of Dover Master Plan as they relate to transportation. The Commission shall make recommendations to the City Council and/or Planning Board and shall study and prepare reports to aid in the development, implementation, and general improvement of the Master Plan relating to the transportation in the City of Dover.
