Three At-Large Members shall represent varied economic, social and geographic sectors. The at-large members shall be appointed by the Kern COG Board of Directors. The application for at-large members is available here.
The Regional Transportation Modeling Subcommittee (TMC) of the RPAC oversees the regional transportation model and regional growth forecast. The model is used to forecast the demand for future transportation infrastructure by predicting future travel patterns. Some of the forecast input variables include populations, households, employment, school enrollment, income, traffic counts, speeds, intersection configuration, existing and planned transportation networks. The Regional Transportation Modeling Subcommittee meets concurrently with the RPAC.
The Kern Climate Change Task Force (KCCTF) was formed in 2009 to assist Kern COG and its member agencies to meet the goals and objectives of Senate Bill No. 375 (SB 375). The Kern Climate Change Task Force was folded into the Transportation Modeling Committee in 2010.
The Social Services Technical Advisory Committee (SSTAC) addresses the needs of the transit-dependent, including the elderly and disabled. Specifically the committee:
Representatives of transit providers throughout Kern County make up the Public Transit Operators Committee (PTOC), which provides a forum for any transit-related issue, including performance measures, performance audits, short-range transit plans, productivity-enhancing strategies and new regulations. Fundamentally, the committee works to establish a seamless transit system in the county.
Kern COG committees such as Transportation Technical Advisory Committee (TTAC), Regional Planning Advisory Committee (SSTAC) or Social Services Technical Advisory Committee (SSTAC) occasionally form temporary or permanent sub-committees for specific functions.
