The Benton-Franklin Governmental Conference was established as a voluntary association of the units of local government in the two-county region in 1966. The official name was changed to Benton-Franklin Regional Council (BFRC) in May 1991 and to the Benton-Franklin Council of Governments (BFCG) in 1998. The Benton-Franklin Council of Governments is structured under state law as a regional planning commission (RCW ), a council of governments (RCW ), and a Regional Transportation Planning Organization (RTPO) (RCW ). The Council of Governments presently claims 16 regular members, 1 associate member, 2 affiliate members, and 6 private sector members which represent the region’s approximate 270,000 population. A Sub-RTPO is established in Walla Walla County, allowing Rural Regional Transportation Planning in Walla Walla County to occur in concert with Walla Walla Valley MPO activities.
As is the case elsewhere across the country, the problems facing this region’s local communities cannot be effectively solved within a single city or county. Such problems require cooperative action by all local governments within a region. The function of the BFCG is to facilitate a cooperative approach to regional problem solving.
