- Review any proposals for new working groups or committees, as well as charter modifications related to expanding the scope of the Foundation’s work, and provide written or verbal recommendations and perspective to the Board.
- Provide input and advice to the Board on topics related to strategy or mobility data policy as requested by the Board or the Executive Director.

Cities use Foundation technologies to implement, inform, and enable a variety of urban policies. The Strategy Committee brings together public agency policy experts with their private sector counterparts to ensure the Foundation’s work effectively supports these programs and policies, and serve as advisors to the Board, Executive Director, and Working Groups on matters related to mobility policy. While the Committee generally does not directly produce formal, public-facing Foundation Deliverables, it plays an important role in direction setting and review of the Foundation’s policy-related work.
