      (b) The local planning agencies in each TIA shall select the participants in the TIA, including, but not limited to, businesses, labor unions, trade associations, environmental interest groups and other interest groups whose participation the local planning agency believes would be valuable to the TIA in the development of a transportation plan for the TIA.

      (c) The local planning agencies in each TIA shall determine the processes used by such TIA in carrying out its responsibilities under sections 13b-57d to 13b-57g, inclusive. For the purposes of carrying out such responsibilities, each TIA shall report to the chief executive officers of such local planning agencies. Upon request of the local planning agencies, the board shall assist such agencies.

      (d) On or before November 15, 2001, the participants in each TIA shall prepare an initial TIA corridor plan and deliver such plan to the Connecticut Transportation Strategy Board, established pursuant to section 13b-57e.
