FTA on track with TRACS
Written by William C. Vantuono, Editor-in-ChiefThe Federal Transit Administration (FTA) is seeking nominations from the public transportation safety community for TRACS (Transit Advisory Committee for Safety) membership.
Nominees should be knowledgeable of trends or issues related to rail transit and bus transit safety. Candidates will be evaluated on factors including leadership and organizational skills, geographic representation, diversity characteristics, and the overall balance of industry representation.
TRACS was chartered in 2009 by the U.S. Secretary of Transportation for the purpose of providing a forum for the development, consideration, and communication of information regarding public transit safety. TRACS meets twice a year and provides information, advice, and recommendations to the Secretary and the FTA Administrator, but the committee is not responsible for issuing decisions or exercising program management.
TRACS members serve two-year terms, and are subject to reappointment by the Secretary. Self-nominations are acceptable. FTA prefers electronic submissions for all applications to [email protected]. Submit nominations by August 31, 2016. Contact Adrianne Malasky with questions (202-366-5496 or [email protected]).
