ATP Technical Advisory Committee
History and Formation
After Senate Bill No. 99 established the Active Transportation Program (ATP) in 2013, Caltrans and the California Transportation Commission (CTC) built the ATP Technical Advisory Committee (TAC). The ATP TAC is an action-oriented committee that supports Caltrans' and the CTC’s management and delivery of the ATP by providing balanced strategic technical guidance and assistance with complex program decisions that enable and maximize continuous improvement of the ATP.
Members
ATP TAC members represent a diverse statewide constituency including north, central, and south geographies, rural, urban and suburban community types, including disadvantaged communities, and members representing the needs and interests of all active transportation users. Our members represent public agencies, stakeholders, and non-profit advocacy organizations.
