Application Deadline: Applications for the General Manager's Access Committee can be submitted on an ongoing basis; however, applications will be kept on file to fill future vacancies.
The General Manager's Access Committee (GMAC) was established in 2023 to review, comment and advise the General Manager and District Staff regarding the implementation of AC Transit's planning, programs and services for seniors and individuals with disabilities. The GMAC consists of 14 members representing seniors and individuals with varying types of disabilities throughout AC Transit's diverse geographic area that spans from Richmond in the north and Fremont in the south to the hills of the inner East Bay. Members serve two-year terms.
Monthly meetings are generally held on the second Tuesday of each month at 1:00 p.m. Meetings are typically held remotely unless otherwise specified on the agenda.

The General Manager encourages that membership on the Committee be ethically diverse and cover all geographical areas of the District's service area as well as representation by/for seniors and individuals with varying types of disabilities.
