TAC Mission

The Transportation Advisory Committee (TAC) was established by the University on April 11, 1991. The University Transportation Advisory Committee is to be administrative, with actions in the form of recommendations to the President or his designee.

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.
