The North Los Angeles County Transportation Coalition (NCTC) was first informally assembled in 1995 as a method of coordinating information and providing a forum for public discussion on regional transportation issues of mutual interest and concern amongst the Cities of Palmdale, Lancaster, Santa Clarita, and the unincorporated areas of  North Los Angeles County, 5th District.  The Cities and County collaborated on transportation issues, mobility programs, 

initiatives and feasibility studies.

Recent legislative developments such as Measure M and SB1 gave the NCTC reason to formalize into a Joint Powers of Authority (JPA), to advocate for the return of tax-payer transportation dollars to the North County Subregion. The NCTC JPA was officially formed on Monday, May 14, 2018 and is governed by a Board of Directors comprised of the Member Jurisdictions which meet quarterly in a calendar year.

The NCTC provides a public forum for the Member Jurisdictions to coordinate regional transportation planning to build a safe efficient mobility network for the 

North Los Angeles County region.
