Sacramento Regional Transit Mobility Advisory Council

November 18, 2024 General

SacRT Mobility Advisory Council (MAC) is recruiting for new members, both in the organizational and at-large categories.
MAC is seeking balance across various types of disabilities, as well as the region’s geographic areas and ethnic
diversity.

The MAC was formed in 2005 as a voluntary advisory body to replace its previous, longstanding Disabled and Elderly
Committee for Accessible Transportation (DECAT). The object and purpose of the MAC is to advise SacRT on system
accessibility features and improvements, provide communication between SacRT and key stakeholder groups whose interests
are representing persons with disabilities and older adults, and represent public transportation interest areas for
persons with disabilities and older adults. MAC’s enclosed annual work plan links accessibility issues with
larger customer-oriented decisions, such as fare changes, customer information, and service plans.

The Council is comprised of up to 17 members, 9 representing organizations or agencies which provide services or
advocate for persons with disabilities and seniors and 8 at-large members representing individuals with disabilities and
seniors. The composition of representatives reflects a balance across various types of disabilities.

SacRT’s Board of Directors and staff greatly value the ability to consult with the MAC on service issues affecting the
disability and elderly community. The MAC provides SacRT with the consumer’s perspective on many of SacRT’s system
improvements, such as:

Facilities (including stop and station design/access)
Vehicle design
Major system expansion/capital plans, specific plans, and projects
Service plans and/or changes in advance of any significant service change proposals
Fixed route and paratransit service provision, including training communication and policy matters
Provide opportunities for public input on local transportation and needs for seniors and persons with
disabilities
Organizational initiatives and transit ballot measures.
