Who we are
Bangor Area Comprehensive Transportation System (BACTS) improves transportation in the greater Bangor region.
We lead regional transportation and related planning efforts, bring funding to the region, provide transportation-related services to municipalities throughout Penobscot County, and as the region’s designated Metropolitan Planning Organization we evaluate and approve proposed transportation improvement projects.
Our Committees
BACTS is governed by a policy committee and an executive committee. The members of these committees are comprised of municipal officials (both elected and appointed) of the member cities and towns, members of the MaineDOT, FTA, and FHWA.
Our Resources
As the Metropolitan Planning Organization for the greater Bangor region, BACTS has a variety of resources available to assist with transportation planning and programming. BACTS resources include federal, state and local program information, historical studies and reports, and transportation data throughout the region.
