TPB Access for All Advisory Committee

The Access for All (AFA) Advisory Committee advises the TPB on transportation issues, programs, policies, and services that are important to low-income communities, minority communities and people with disabilities. The mission of this committee is to identify concerns of low-income and minority populations and persons with disabilities, and to determine whether and how these issues might be addressed within the TPB process.

The committee is chaired by a TPB member, currently Kathy Porter, Mayor of Takoma Park, MD. Membership of the committee includes approximately 25 community leaders from low-income communities, minority communities and persons with disabilities. Each year the AFA comments on the long-range plan (ADD LINK TO AFA COMMENTS). Current concerns of the AFA committee include: paratransit services for persons with disabilities, transit information for limited-English speakers and the racial and economic divide between the eastern and western sides of the region. The AFA Meeting Calendar and other information is available at the MWCOG website.
