ISSUE
This report is an update on the activities of the Community Advisory Council (CAC) from June 2025 through October 2025.
Background
BACKGROUND
Per state statute (AB152), when the Los Angeles County Transportation Commission (LACTC) and Southern California Rapid Transit District (SCRTD) merged to become Metro, also embedded in the legislation was a requirement to establish a Citizens' Advisory Committee, whose membership "shall reflect a broad spectrum of interests and all geographic areas of the county". In 2022, the CAC voted to be referred to as the Community Advisory Council to better reflect its values.
As stated in the CAC's Bylaws, the group consults, obtains, and collects public input on matters of interest and concern to the community, as well as those assigned by the Board of Directors or Metro staff. The CAC (a Brown Act compliant committee) communicates its recommendations concerning key issues to Metro.
The CAC is currently comprised of 23 voting members. CAC members are directly appointed by the Metro Board of Directors and serve at the bidding of their appointing Director. The CAC General Assembly meets monthly on the Wednesday evening before the Metro Board of Directors meeting. The CAC's elected officers now meet as an Executive Committee on the first Thursday of each month (modified at the July 2025 Executive Committee meeting from the first Wednesday of the month).
