The Compact Task Force is charged with drafting a compact or agreement for the National Capital Region.  To date, the Task Force has been examining agreements or structures successfully used in other regions to promote greater regional collaboration, set goals and assess regional progress.

Charge from full Coalition: "Can COG, which is a voluntary association of local governments, be effective in marshaling support for a new agreement to promote and track progress in achieving regional goals or principles?  How can non-governmental stakeholders be more effective in advocating and supporting regionalism?  What best practices have worked in other regions that could be effective in our tri-state metropolitan region?  The Compact Task Force will examine agreements or structures successfully used in other regions to promote greater regional collaboration, goal setting and assessing progress and begin to draft a compact or agreement for the National Capital Region."

Staff Resource: John Mataya, 202-962-3263
