About TAC – The Transportation Advisory Committee

The Transportation Advisory Committee (TAC) advises the Campus Welfare Committee (CWC) and the Director of Transportation and Parking Services (TAPS) on issues pertaining to transportation, parking and circulation and the implementation of the Transportation Element of the campus’ Long Range Development Plan (LRDP) and other transportation-related campus documents, including those pertaining to transit services and the expenditure of Student Transit Fees. In so doing, the committee is expected to encourage campus and community input on the following issues:

Transportation: Advises the Director of Transportation and Parking Services on policies and programs associated with development of the Travel Demand Management (TDM) plan and evaluation of its success. Reviews and recommends policies and programs for coordinated TDM, parking, transit and circulation planning, transit-related marketing and information services provided by TAPS staff, and financing.

Parking: Reviews and recommends parking rates, utilization, policies, and plans.

Circulation: Reviews and recommends pedestrian, bicycle, and vehicular circulation policies, plans, programs and implementation.

Campus Transit: Provides advice on policies, programs, projects, and budget expenditures associated with Campus Transit operations – Day and Night Campus Transit and other premium transit services – and transit-related capital improvements. Also offers guidance on the scheduling, routing, and effectiveness of campus transit services.

SCMTD Transit Services: Provides advice on the scheduling, routing, capacity, and effectiveness of transit services provided by the Santa Cruz Metropolitan Transit District (SCMTD) and/or other transit service providers.
