About ATFAC
The ATFAC Committee Members
The Accessible Transportation Fund Advisory Committee (ATFAC) is appointed by the TriMet Board of Directors to advise TriMet’s HB2017 Transit Advisory Committee by making informed recommendations about the distribution of grants funded by the State of Oregon’s Statewide Transportation Improvement Fund (STIF) population formula funds and the Federal Transit Administration’s Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities - Section 5310. The three-county area receives approximately $10 million in STIF population based formula funds and approximately $7–8 million Section 5310 funds each biennium (every two years). STIF population and Section 5310 funds play an important role in the expansion of community-based services for older adults and individuals with disabilities as well as in the preservation of paratransit services.
The ATFAC includes a broad representation of users of transportation services and providers including up to fourteen members of the Committee on Accessible Transportation (CAT), as well as representatives from Clackamas, Multnomah and Washington Counties aging and disabilities service agencies, out-of-district transit providers, older adults and individuals with disabilities from the three Counties, older adults and individuals with disabilities representing out-of-district consumers, Ride Connection, and TriMet.
