Policy Steering Committee

The Board of Orange County Commissioners has approved a planning framework for updating the Transit Plan. This framework involves working with a Policy Steering Committee composed of appointees from the County and from each municipality in the County.

The Policy Steering Committee will provide guidance on the vision and goals of the Transit Plan and help prioritize the types and quantities of service improvements and infrastructure investments that will best serve the communities they represent.
