CRTPA Committees The Multimodal Advisory Committee (MAC), focuses on identifying strategies to ensure that new projects and programs are identified to promote safe walking, cycling and transit use. The Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) is an comprised of citizens residing within the geographical boundary of the CRTPA. The committee’s purpose is to provide comment regarding transportation planning proposals including addressing the transportation needs of various segments of the community’s population. As such, the CRTPA strives to maintain an equitable CAC membership balance with respect to demographic, geographic and economic diversity. The Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) is the CRTPA’s technical committee and is comprised of local and state planners and engineers with expertise in the area of transportation planning, engineering or management. The TAC provides technical reviews of CRTPA plans, programs, and projects and makes recommendations as to their need, feasibility, technical accuracy and consistency with local, state and regional plans, programs and projects. The TAC assists the CRTPA in carrying out the CRTPA’s planning function through recommendations on various transportation issues. The LEON COUNTY Transportation Disadvantaged Coordinating Board (TDCB) is not a committee of the CRTPA; however, it is staffed by the CRTPA. The TDCB is responsible for reviewing and discussing issues relating to providing transportation services to those members in the community who are unable to provide their own transportation to vital services, such as medical appointments and employment. Formed under Chapter 427.11 Florida Statutes, the program provides partial or total funding for over 100,000 paratransit and specialized-needs trips annually. The TDCB requires an elected official to serve as the chairperson. The Gadsden and Wakulla counties TDCB's are staffed by the Apalachee Regional Planning Council (ARPC). The Transportation Disadvantaged Coordinating Board does not accept members from the general citizenry as appointments are mandated by Florida Statute for specific providers or representatives of transportation disadvantaged persons. Within Leon County, membership selections are made by the CRTPA.
