Whereas previous ReThink Transit work has been <br /> initiated and led by the City of Everett with support from Community Transit, this phase <br /> requires that both agencies move forward collaboratively together, with mutual ownership of <br /> the process and equal consideration of the interests of our respective district residents and <br /> transit customers. The work will be closely coordinated to ensure shared ownership of every <br /> aspect of the evaluation, decision making, financial support, policy development, <br /> communication, timing, etc., to represent and reflect the interests of both Everett and <br /> Community Transit. <br /> Project Structure <br /> The work is to be organized around a three-part structure comprised of technical, executive, and <br /> policy levels. Each level will include equal representation from both agencies. An Independent <br /> Facilitator will facilitate discussion and administer roles and responsibilities at all three levels <br /> while ensuring clear flow of information between the groups. <br /> The Independent Facilitator will be equally funded by Everett and Community Transit and will be <br /> selected by the Executive Advisory Group. <br /> ( '\ ( • <br /> Technical Working Executive Advisory Joint Policy Committee <br /> Group (TWG) Group(EAG) <br /> Independent Facilitator <br /> 4 <br />
