Social Services Transportation Advisory Council

New Agenda Management Software: SANDAG is transitioning to a new agenda management software to help us share meeting agendas more clearly and easily. The new system will include the opportunity to leave written comments online (learn more on our Meeting Assistance page) Agendas and meeting minutes will look slightly different. They will be available in PDF and HTML (online) format and include video bookmarking. Subscribers will continue to receive email notifications as usual. The new system will go live the week of July 14.

Past agendas and minutes for the Board and PAC meetings are in the process of being transferred to the new system. If you need help finding meeting information or have any questions or concerns, contact clerkoftheboard@sandag.org.

The Social Services Transportation Advisory Council (SSTAC) oversees work on federal and state requirements and local concerns regarding transportation accessibility issues for the elderly and persons with disabilities. The SSTAC reports to the Transportation Committee, which in turn reports to the SANDAG Board of Directors.  

SSTAC meetings are generally bimonthly. At least once a year, the council holds a public hearing to solicit input on transportation needs from older individuals, persons with disabilities, and persons with limited means, in accordance with the California Public Utilities Code. The next public hearing will be at the July 2026 SSTAC meeting. However, members of the public are invited and encouraged to provide comments and input on transportation needs at any meeting of the SSTAC.

Contact Tim Garrett at 619.595.5337 or tim.garrett@sandag.org with any questions.
