Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
No previous action.
Summary of Request:
The California Transportation Commission’s mission is to be a unified voice for transportation issues in California; however every current member of the California Transportation Commission resides in a county with a population over one million people. It is difficult for the Commission to meet their mission as a unified voice for transportation issues in California without a representative from a small rural county. AB 174 will ensure the voices of small, rural California counties are heard on the Commission by requiring one voting member of the Commission to reside in a county with a population of less than 100,000. AB 174 is consistent with the County’s 2017 Legislative Platform for transportation advocacy and local control.
Alternative Action/Motion:
Do not approve letter or provide alternative direction.
