Transit Advisory Committee

Metro’s Transit Advisory Committee (TAC) seeks to involve members of the community from diverse populations, identities, backgrounds, and geographies of the area served by Metro with a particular emphasis to include those that have historically been excluded, marginalized, or underserved.

This committee will be tasked with several things:

  • Provide a closer connection between Metro staff, the Metro Board of Directors, and the community making up the Omaha region
  • Make recommendations to Metro staff and the Board on any transportation program or project that Metro and members of the community may have an interest in
  • Review eligibility appeals from paratransit service (MOBY) applicants and make final decisions on application status

Committee Meetings

TAC meetings are open to the public and held at Metro’s Offices (2222 Cuming St, Omaha). Meetings are generally held on the second Wednesday of each month at 6:30 p.m.
