Citizens' Advisory Council
In 2006, the General Assembly passed a bill creating the Red Line Citizens' Advisory Council (CAC). The bill established the membership of the CAC and its role in the Red Line planning process. The CAC is responsible for advising the MTA on impacts, opportunities and community concerns about the Red Line.
The CAC has developed criteria to evaluate the Red Line’s cost effectiveness, likelihood to obtain federal funding, impact on the communities it serves and whether it provides a quality transportation option. Click here to view the document.
Membership
The law that was passed by the Maryland General Assembly in 2006 establishing the CAC stated that the members of the CAC would be selected by the President of the Senate, the Speaker of the House, the Mayor of the City of Baltimore, and the Governor or, at the Governor's discretion, the Maryland Transit Administrator. The law also established that the Maryland Transit Administrator shall designate two co-chairs of the Advisory Council by selecting one from a list of two names provided by the President of the Senate, and one from a list of two names provided by the Speaker of the House.
