SSTAC meetings are generally bimonthly. At least once a year, the council holds a public hearing to solicit input on transportation needs from older individuals, persons with disabilities, and persons with limited means, in accordance with the California Public Utilities Code. The next public hearing will be at the July 15, 2025, 10 a.m. SSTAC meeting. Members of the public are invited to provide testimony.

Members of the public who are not able to participate in the public hearing are encouraged to provide testimony using this online comment card by 8 a.m. on Tuesday, July 15, 2025. You may also leave a voicemail at 619.699.0641. These comments will be read by SANDAG staff during the meeting and documented along with all other comments received during the hearing.
