TAC Mission

The committee will assume tasks previously undertaken by the Public Safety Committee regarding campus transportation issues. Their work will involve parking, campus and vicinity traffic management, the campus shuttle service, alternative transportation activities including bicycles, car and van pooling, and coordination with transit agencies.

The University Transportation Advisory Committee shall be the principal campus body responsible for recommending to the President or his designee policy on all aspects of campus transportation, including:

  • Review and critique existing transportation programs;
  • Explore and recommend new programs and modification or elimination of existing ones;
  • Recommend priorities for use of parking fines and forfeitures revenue;

Aid in the development of policy proposals, fee schedules and other matters related to the conduct of a comprehensive transportation management program.

The TAC will strive to meet twice per semester; usually February and April in the spring and September and November in the fall. Meetings are held at a date and time when the greatest amount of TAC members are available to meet in the UTAPS conference room, unless otherwise noted.
