Background
The enabling legislation, Chapter 1011 of the Statues of 1999 requires the formation of a Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) and sets the criteria for membership as follows:
• Members representing local, regional, state, and federal agencies, operating ground transportation agencies, and operating water transit agencies.
• Members representing fish and wildlife, recreational boating, private environmental protection entities, business, real estate development, architecture, urban planning, private sector vessel operators, and organized labor, as well as the public at large.
Mission Statement
As specified in the enabling legislation, the TAC will "assist and advise the Board in carrying out its functions."
Roles of The TAC:
• The TAC will serve as a conduit to interested agencies, identifying key contacts within those agencies and facilitating discussions on specific technical items.
• Provide review and comment to WTA staff and its consultants on the myriad of technical reports and studies that were prepared in the development of the Implementation and Operations Plan and in future terminal and vessel construction and operation.
• Review the findings and the recommendations for consistency to promote inter-agency cooperation and integration with ongoing planning efforts.
