APPLICATIONS DUE FEBRUARY 14, 2025

The Transbay Joint Powers Authority (TJPA) is soliciting applications from Bay Area residents to serve on the TJPA Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) for its annual recruitment.  This is an opportunity for individuals to provide input on the operation of the world-class Salesforce Transit Center (Center) and rooftop park, which is owned and operated by the TJPA, and to help shape the discussion on the development of The Portal also known as the Downtown Rail Extension project, which will connect Caltrain’s 77-mile system and ultimately, the California High-Speed Rail Authority’s statewide system to its northern terminus, the Grand Central Station of the West, in downtown San Francisco. Past CAC members have contributed to the successful planning, development and construction of the Center and rooftop park; the creation of the transit-oriented neighborhood surrounding the Center; and the economic vitality of the Center and its retail offerings.

The TJPA seeks to appoint Committee members for eight (8) seats that represent the diversity of the Bay Area. There are 15 seats in total on the CAC representing the following constituencies:

  1. Daily Caltrain Rider into San Francisco

The TJPA CAC regularly meets on the second Tuesday of the month from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. and meetings are held at the TJPA office, 425 Mission Street, Suite 250, San Francisco, CA.  Consistent attendance is required.
