History
On April 22, 2004, the RTD Board of Directors adopted Resolution No. 5, Series of 2004, calling for the creation of a FasTracks Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC). The Board of Directors approved the structure for the CAC including its mission and function, the duties and roles of its members, the selection process for members, and organizational and meeting procedures for the Committee on December 13, 2005. The CAC advises RTD on matters relating to the implementation of the voter-approved FasTracks.
The Mission of the CAC is:
- To provide region-oriented advice to the Board of Directors on issues related to the implementation of the FasTracks Plan.
- To receive staff reports on the progress of the project in relationship to established schedules, budget allocations, DBE goals, and quality management guidelines.
- To review and provide comment on the DRCOG Annual FasTracks Review Report
- To promote public awareness and understanding of the voter approved FasTracks Plan and its implementation.
