Instituted in 1991, the GATRAConsumer Advisory Committee (GCAC) is made up of individuals who provide an open forum for general consumer and ADA related issues concerning GATRA’s fixed-route and paratransit services.
The GCAC meets quarterly, with specialized monthly subcommittee meetings.
The GCAC has a mailing list of about 200 people and organizations, with regular attendance from Councils on Aging, human service agencies and consumers of GATRA’s fixed-route and demand response services.
