Transit Security Advisory Committee
VTA invites Santa Clara County residents to apply for the Transit Security Advisory Committee (TSAC) through this open and competitive online application process.
The TSAC advises the VTA Board of Directors on the newly established ‘prohibition authority’ program established by AB1735. The purpose of AB 1735 is to enhance safety and security by excluding public transit riders whose actions impact the safety and security of public transit passengers and public transit employees. The TSAC Members are appointed to represent stakeholder groups from the following categories:
- Law enforcement Representative*
- Youth advocate Representative*
- Mental health professional Representative*
- ATU Representative**
- AFSCME Representative**
- Community-based organization (CBO) Representative
- “At-large” or “undesignated” *= category stipulated by AB1735
**= represents 2 of the five minimum members required by statute
The selection process seeks a balance of relevant background, experience, and targeted stakeholder constituencies.
Selected and appointed members serve a two (2) year term and are limited to two (2) consecutive terms. The TSAC generally meets once a month, on the Wednesday following the first Thursday. Meetings normally last two (2) hours or less.
Eligibility: To be considered for the TSAC, applicants must be residents of Santa Clara County during their term. Please note that members of any other VTA committee, elected public officials at any level of government, and VTA employees are ineligible to apply. Membership will be finalized by a successful application process and approval of the VTA Board.
For questions or more information about the Transit Security Advisory Committee or the application process, please contact the VTA Board Office at board.secretary@vta.org or 408.321.5680.
