BART recruiting for Transit Security Advisory Committee (applications due 6/1/2023)

BART's Transit Security Advisory Committee (TSAC) is currently looking to fill several open positions and is accepting applications until June 1, 2023. 

TSAC  is the citizen and community oversight committee that works to ensure Assembly Bill 716 (Dickinson) -- which allows BART Police Officers the authority to issue prohibition orders to offenders who are cited or arrested for certain offenses -- is implemented as the Legislature intended. The oversight group, comprised of at least five citizens, serves as a volunteer review body for the implementation of BART’s prohibition policy.

Board-appointed members of TSAC are professionals in the areas of mental health, homelessness, public safety and youth advocacy and cultural awareness. Drawing from their private and public sector experiences, the committee brings a diverse set of skills to the review and execution of the prohibition policy. The advisory committee reports directly to the BART Board of Directors.

BART Transit Security Advisory Committee is currently looking for the following Open Seats:

  • One (1) Alternate Committee Member for the Mental Health, Youth Advocate, or Law Enforcement Representative Seat
  • Two (2) Public at Large Representative Seats
  • One (1) Mental Health Representative Seat
