WATA Advisory Committee (WAC)

Citizen input regarding our public transportation system is essential to WATA's success. This input affords WATA the insight and ability to make informed decisions providing excellent public transportation that meets the needs of the Williamsburg area. The WATA Advisory Committee (WAC) includes a diverse group of community members representing a spectrum of transportation and community needs. 

Purpose

The purpose of the WATA Advisory Committee is:

  • To help identify the transportation needs of the Williamsburg area, such as route modifications/extensions/deletions, locations of stop amenities, service hours, service planning, and fare structure
  • To provide WATA staff with recommendations and feedback to WATA staff on all aspects of the transit system
  • To serve as community ambassadors by assisting in public outreach and informing the public about the value of public transportation

Membership

Members should include, though not be limited, to persons who currently use or have the desire to use public transportation. WAC members will be appointed by the WATA Board of Directors upon recommendation by WATA staff. Ideally, the Committee will be comprised of 7 members, including those representing the following groups:
