MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Ky Spangler, City Clerk
DATE: 11/15/2023 Regular Meeting
SUBJECT: Consider Appointments to the Citizens Transportation Advisory
Committee
BACKGROUND
The Citizens Transportation Advisory Committee (CTAC) acts as an advisory board to
the Ventura County Transportation Commission on matters concerning transportation
planning and the annual identification of unmet public transit needs. The CTAC meets
four times a year. The City has two representatives and one alternate who serve on the
Committee for a two-year term.
DISCUSSION
Recruitment for the two regular positions and one alternate have been open on a
continuous basis since the expiration of the prior terms which concluded December 31,
2020. Multiple advertising and outreach efforts have been utilized, including social media
posts and press releases in the Acorn, announcements by the Mayor at City Council
meetings, notification on the City website home page scrolling banner, and postings on
the Community Bulletin Board, Library, Active Adult Center, City buses and on the
Moorpark Transit Division’s ‘Announcements’ webpage. It should be noted the dramatic
reduction in public transit usage during the COVID-19 pandemic likely also impacted
interest in service on the CTAC. Despite using all available outreach methods, no
applications were received until September and October 2023.
The City has now received two applications from the following individuals:
Elizabeth Galbraith
Andrew Cantwell
Although there are two positions and one alternate on the CTAC, staff recommends
appointing the two current applicants for a two-year term concluding December 2025, and
maintaining an on-going open recruitment for the alternate position until filled.

What interests you about this citizen appointment and why do you believe you should be appointed?*
I am an active public transit user living in the community. I regularly use public transit across the county and beyond. As a
young adult, I did not have access to a car and experienced moving through Ventura County entirely by public transit. Now,
I experience moving through the county both with and without a car. I have an intimate understanding of the choices
drivers make. To accomplish the goals of reducing carbon emissions and traffic congestion, it is essential to make public
transportation competitive with private automobile trips. With my experience, I understand exactly how public transit can
become competitive.
Additionally, my planning education has rewarded me with the historical background and technical knowledge of Californian
automobile dependency, the importance of equitable mobility, and potential solutions for sustainable transportation for all.
