DOT is proud to announce the reestablishment of the Advisory Committee on Transportation Equity (ACTE), the first federal advisory committee established under Secretary Pete Buttigieg.
The ACTE is a direct legacy of Secretary Anthony Foxx who first established it in 2016. The goal of this committee is to provide independent advice and recommendations to the Secretary about comprehensive, interdisciplinary issues related to civil rights and transportation equity in the planning, design, research, policy, and advocacy contexts.
DOT is soliciting applications for membership and would love your partnership spreading the word to your networks. The ACTE will consist of up to 25 members with cross-cutting experience at the intersections of civil rights, housing, health care, disability access, and environmental justice. It is expected that the Committee will meet quarterly.
To apply, interested parties will need to submit a statement of interest and a statement of qualifications (such as a resume) to equity@dot.gov. Applications are due by COB on June 15.
