GRTC Transit System is starting a volunteer advisory group, the GRTC Transit System Advisory Group (TAG). 

This group does not set policy or regulations.  However, they will serve a very important function as the eyes and ears of GRTC in the community.  They will make recommendations for solutions to problems that are identified. 

GRTC is looking for a diverse group of 10 people interested in the advancement and improvement of public transit.  The TAG will represent a cross section of people in the Richmond region and will be appointed from the following areas:

  • 2,city of Richmond
  • 2, Chesterfield County
  • 2, Henrico County
  • 1, city of Petersburg
  • 3, At Large

You might be a senior citizen, person with a disability, college student, business owner, social service agency representative, neighborhood association member, health care provider, environmentalist, bus rider, non-bus rider or a bicyclist, but not limited to these groups.  The most important thing is your interest in public transit.

TAG members will be expected to attend four meetings a year.  Each meeting is planned for 2 – 3 hours each.
