PROJECT:
N/A

 

PURPOSE: The Transportation Mobility Advisory Commission (TransMAC) was created by the passage of an amendment to the Orange County Charter on November 5, 2024. TransMAC is empowered to hold public hearings and make recommendations to the County Commission on: (1) proposed expenditures for transportation purposes prior to inclusion in the proposed County annual budget; (2) transportation and mobility innovation; and (3) review of past transportation expenditures.

TransMAC is composed of seven members. The amendment stipulates that “TransMAC members shall be county residents who are not elected officials.” In appointing TransMAC members, the Board shall endeavor to include among the membership at least one member that is (i) an engineer; (ii) an accountant, banker, or financial analyst; (iii) an individual active in manufacturing or construction; (iv) an environmental advocate; (v) a civic community leader; (vi) a member of a local watchdog group; and (vii) a frequent user of transit.” Terms are for two years with a limit of eight terms.

Patrick T. Christiansen has resigned from TransMAC. He had been appointed by Mayor Demings; therefore, Mayor Demings has nominated Suja Gusam to succeed Mr. Christiansen in the civic community leader representative category with a term expiring December 31, 2026.
