WORKSHOP SESSION
1. REGIONAL PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY PRESENTATION ON
REGIONAL PLANNING
Ms. Deborah Linehan, Director of Strategy and Programs
for the Regional Public Transportation Authority provided
Council with an overview of the process that is melding the
various local transit plans into one regional plan. She
discussed the role of the Citizens Advisory Committee saying
that the CAC consists of 110 citizen members, about half of
whom were involved in developing local transit plans in their
communities. The CAC members come from a wide range of
community-based organizations representing such diverse
interests as business and economic development, senior and
disabled citizens, higher education, organized labor,
bicyclists, highway users and homeowner and resident
associations. The group is chaired by Tim Bray, who served
as Chairman of Scottsdale's Transit Plan Citizens Committee.
Bray is assisted by Vice -Chairs Eva Patten, Chairman of the
Tempe Transportation Committee and Pat Cantelme, Chairman of
the Phoenix Citywide Transit Committee. Ms. Linehan
attributed the planning program's success to being citizen
based as opposed to citizen reactive.
Ms. Linehan stated that the CAC members have formed
subcommittees and will address such issues as bus, custom
transit, rail transit, finance, community education and
ridership promotion and transit related policies.
Ms. Linehan briefed Council on the issues raised by the
new transportation legislation.
