About the E&D TAC
The Elderly and Disabled Transportation Advisory Committee (E&D TAC) advises the RTC and other transportation agencies on the network of specialized transportation services for seniors and people with disabilities in Santa Cruz County as well as about the transportation needs of these members of our community.
The E&D TAC also serves as the local Social Services Transportation Advisory Council (SSTAC), a state-required entity that seeks input from transit-dependent and transit disadvantaged persons, including seniors, people with disabilities, low income persons, and youth regarding transit needs in Santa Cruz County.
Upcoming Meetings
The E&D TAC generally meets at 1:30 pm on the second Tuesday of even numbered months at the RTC office, unless otherwise indicated. Meetings are open to the public and all are welcome to attend. The committee may schedule interim meetings for urgent action items or cancel meetings if there are no action items, and strives to have one meeting per year at an alternate county location. Please check the current agenda for the meeting location.
