Charge of the Transportation Alternatives Board

The Chancellor’s Special Advisory Committee on Parking (CSACOP) recommended on August 12, 2002 (in “The Lucas Report”) that two committees be formed, the Transportation Alternatives Board and the Parking Ratepayer Board and charged the Transportation Alternative Board with the following:

The Alternative Transportation Board

i) The new board should be known as the Alternative Transportation Board to distinguish it from the Parking Ratepayer Board.

ii) The Alternative Transportation Board will have oversight of all campus policies related to campus access by other than single occupancy vehicles as well as around campus. It will advise the Chancellor on ways of funding alternative transportation programs, the allocation of these funds, and the implementation of programs to enhance cost-effective and convenient access to and around campus. The Board should have representation on the administrative Campus Planning Committee and the Senate Budget and Planning Council

iii) The Alternative Transportation Board will have nine members: three each from faculty, career staff, and the student body. Student membership will be made up of one member each from the undergraduate, graduate and residence hall student populations. The Chair of the Parking Ratepayers Board will serve in an ex-officio capacity

* Faculty will be nominated by the Academic Senate Committee on Committees.

* Staff will be nominated by the Staff Assembly and Chancellor’s Staff Advisory Committee.

* Students will be nominated by the Associated Students, Graduate Students Association and Residence Hall Association.

* The members of the Board shall elect a chair and vice chair from among their own number.

iv) The Alternative Transportation Board will initially hold public meetings at least once a month, with the frequency to be determined subsequently by the new Board. Staffing will be provided by Parking and Transportation Services.

* The Director of Parking and Transportation Services and the Director of the Alternative Transportation Program will report to the Board at its regular meetings.

* The Board will invite, at its discretion, other participants that are necessary to its deliberations.

* The Board must receive and disburse full and continual disclosure of all data necessary for its members to form and express educated judgments about alternative transportation programs, expenditures, and policies.

* The Board will conduct an ongoing review of alternative transportation program income and expenditures and will be empowered to conduct outside reviews when necessary. It shall disseminate its findings to the Campus community through regular public meetings and an annual public report.

* The Board will review all transportation mitigation plans submitted as part of the capital construction process on campus.
