Pursuant to Government Code section
				  14506, the
				  Commission shall organize itself into at least four committees: Aeronautics,
				  Streets and Highways, Mass Transportation, and Planning. The Commission
				  committees are:
(1) The Committee on
				Aeronautics, which shall consider issues relating to aeronautics;
(2) The Review and Highway Committee which
				shall consider issues relating to streets and highways and determine the items
				to be on the agenda for the full Commission meeting and which items of the
				agenda will be on the consent calendar.
Commission agenda items will be heard by the Review and
				  Highway Committee. The Committee will listen to argument and consider any
				  evidence and recommend a decision to the full Commission as a consent-calendar
				  item or recommend further presentation before the full Commission as a
				  non-consent item.
Consent calendar items can be removed from the consent
				  calendar and considered separately at the request of any one member of the
				  Commission.
(3) The Program
				and Planning Committee which shall consider the long range planning, policy,
				and programming issues. This Committee shall be responsible for transportation
				planning related issues, including, but not limited to, monitoring the
				transportation planning and programming process pursuant to chapter 2.5
				(commencing with section
				65030) of division 1 of title 7
				and recommending to the commission the allocation of federal and state funds
				available for planning and research.
(4) The Committee on Mass Transportation,
				which shall consider issues related to the movement of groups of people within
				urban areas, and between rural communities and between cities.
The chairman shall appoint a Technical Advisory Committee on
				  Aeronautics, after consultation with members of the aviation industry, airport
				  operators, pilots, and other aviation interest groups and experts, as
				  appropriate.
This Technical Advisory Committee shall give technical advice
				  to the Committee on Aeronautics on the full range of aviation issues to be
				  considered by the Commission.
The Commission may organize itself into additional
				  committees; however, the Commission shall not form a committee for the purpose
				  of considering budgetary and related fiscal matters.
After consulting with members of the Commission, the chairman
				  of the Commission shall appoint the members of all the committees of the
				  Commission. Committees shall be composed of no more than four members. Two
				  members shall constitute a quorum. Majority vote of the committee and at least
				  two votes shall be required for committee action.
Should a committee lack a quorum, the Commission chairman
				  shall appoint temporary committee members to establish a quorum. If the
				  Commission chairman is not available, the committee chairman may appoint
				  temporary committee members. In the absence of either the Commission chairman
				  or committee chairman, the committee member present may appoint temporary
				  members.
The Commission chairman shall not serve on any of the
				  committees except in an ex-officio capacity.
Each committee shall elect one of its members, on an annual
				  basis, as the committee chairperson who shall preside at all committee
				  meetings. In the absence of the elected chairperson, the committee members
				  present shall select a temporary chairperson.
