NCTC Staff

The NCTC Staff consists of
four employees who support the NCTC Mission Statement. The four positions
are: Executive Director, Transportation Planner, Administrative Services
Officer, and Administrative Assistant.

The NCTC Board

 

The Nevada County Transportation Commission has seven members. Four members are appointed by the Board of Supervisors and three are appointed by the incorporated municipalities in the County. The Board of Supervisors annually appoints two members of the Board of Supervisors, and two County at-large representatives. The municipalities appoint three city/town council members; one each from Grass Valley, Nevada City and the Town of Truckee. The Commission holds meetings the third Wednesday of every other month and the public is welcome.

Technical Advisory Committee (TAC)

 

The TAC is made up of representatives of local public works and planning departments, Caltrans, public airport operators, the air pollution control district, and public transit operators.  The TAC Committee provides technical input to the Commission on transportation issues and ensures there is coordination and cooperation in the transportation planning process.

Social Services Transportation Advisory Council (SSTAC)

 

The SSTAC is made up of potential transit users who are representatives of the general public, seniors and/or disabled; social service providers for seniors, disabled, and persons of limited means; local social service and consolidated transportation providers; and Truckee residents who represent the senior and Hispanic communities.  The goal of the SSTAC is to maintain and improve transportation services to the residents of Nevada County, particularly the elderly and disabled.  The SSTAC recommends action to the Commission relative to the unmet transit needs finding, and advises the Commission on transit issues, including coordination and consolidation of specialized transportation services. The makeup of the SSTAC is prescribed by the Transportation Development Act (P.U.C. section 99238).
