Who makes up the CAC and what do they do?

The 17-member Citizens Advisory Committee was established by the Board to ensure that citizens are included as partners with the Board.

The CAC consists of members appointed by the member governments: three each from Colorado Springs and El Paso County, two from Manitou Springs, and one each from Green Mountain Falls, Ramah, and Calhan. Six at-large members and four alternate at-large members (who vote only when a regular member is absent) are appointed by the PPRTA Board of Directors.

The CAC reviews and makes recommendations to the Board of Directors for virtually all business that comes before the Board, including:

• annual budgets and budget amendments;
• contracts and intergovernmental agreements;
• general oversight of all PPRTA capital, maintenance, and transit activities, including status reports from member governments;
• Board financial practices;
• Board policies;
• the PPRTA annual report to the citizens;
• CAC Bylaws; and
• ballot measures that go to the voters.

The CAC also reviews the budgets of local government members to make sure that funding from the PPRTA will not be used to substitute for or reduce any member government’s funding for maintenance or transit activities since 2017.

Meeting Schedule: The PPRTA CAC meets on the first Wednesday of each month at 1:30 p.m.
