Appoint New Members to the Social Services Transportation Advisory Council (SSTAC)	12/10/02	6

RECOMMENDATION

It is recommended that the Agency appoint members to the Social Services Transportation Advisory Council (SSTAC) as shown on the attached list.

SUMMARY

In order to comply with the California Public Utilities Code Section 99238, the RTPA is required to have a nine-member SSTAC in place. Several of the current members are unable to complete their three-year term and several are due for reappointment to a new three-year term.

DISCUSSION

The SSTAC is an active committee that is required by state law to make annual recommendations concerning unmet transit needs. Section 99238 (attached) requires the SSTAC to consist of specific members of the community who are disabled, elderly or of limited means, or who are from social services agencies, which provide for those who are disabled, elderly or of limited means. Members are appointed by the Agency for three-year terms. Currently, several members have resigned and replacement members are needed. Several members are also due for reappointment to a new three-year term.

A list of proposed SSTAC members is attached. New appointments are based on recommendations from the existing membership.

OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT

The Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) supports the recommended appointments.

FINANCING

There are no financial impacts associated with appointing citizens to the SSTAC.
