Notification of Two Vacancies on the Citizens Transportation Advisory Committee

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

May 2, 2024

SUBJECT: NOTIFICATION OF TWO (2) VACANCIES ON THE CITIZENS TRANSPORTATION

ADVISORY COMMITTEE (CTAC)

Each year, millions of dollars are spent on transit services, roadways, and highway projects in our region-have you ever wondered how those spending decisions are made?

The San Luis Obispo Council of Governments (SLOCOG) works with local governments, community members, and the state to identify deficiencies in the transportation system and allocate state and federal dollars to co-create solutions that achieve a common goal: to improve the quality of life in San Luis Obispo County.

The Citizens Transportation Advisory Committee (CTAC) members serve as representatives of the general public. They review SLOCOG staff plans, studies, and funding proposals and prepare recommendations for consideration by the SLOCOG Board. This committee is comprised of appointments from each of the five County Supervisorial Districts and seven incorporated cities, and three "at-large" appointments made by SLOCOG.

Presently, SLOCOG seeks to fill two (2) at-large vacancies. The appointees will help elevate diverse perspectives related to social equity, environmental justice, and equitable economic opportunities, especially as they relate to transportation planning and funding.

The committee normally meets on a Wednesday of alternative (odd) months from 4:30 p.m. until approximately 6:30 p.m., in San Luis Obispo.

For application/more information, please contact James Worthley, Deputy Director, at 805-788-2002, or email at: [email protected] For more information on SLOCOG, visit www.slocog.org
