September 2003
Commission Actions
JULY 2003
- Adopted revised Federal Public Involvement Procedures. The revised procedures
reflect a recent restructuring of MTC’s advisory committees to encourage more
interchange with the Commission. The procedures also call for more actively involving
bilingual and multilingual communities in the public comment process, and commit to
“responding to every letter, fax and e-mail sent by members of the public.”
(MTC Resolution 2648)
- Appointed 12 members to new two-year terms on MTC’s Elderly and Disabled
Advisory Committee and 18 members to new two-year terms on MTC’s Minority
Citizens Advisory Committee (MCAC), in the process expanding the breadth of coverage on
MCAC to include perspectives of low-income communities, with two “at-large”
seats so dedicated. In addition, the Commission appointed an additional person to
represent the construction industry on MTC’s Advisory Council. (MTC Resolution
3516)
- Agreed to allocate $1 million in Low Income Flexible Transportation (LIFT) funds to
implement the second year of AC Transit’s low-income student bus pass program
with the understanding that AC Transit will modify the program to charge all youths $15
for a 31-day pass, and that AC will aggressively market the pass to low-income
students. (MTC Resolution 3589)
