TAC establishes a 20‑member road‑charge working group; Anne Mayer to chair
Summary
The committee introduced a working group chaired by Anne Mayer (Riverside County Transportation Commission) to provide technical and stakeholder advice and to help meet statutory consultation requirements.
The Road Charge Technical Advisory Committee introduced a road‑charge working group March 27 and announced Anne Mayer, executive director of the Riverside County Transportation Commission, will chair the group.
Anne Mayer told the committee the working group will be a resource that provides industry advice and helps the TAC meet statutory consultation requirements under SB 1077. The working group will have no more than 20 members and initially will prioritize seats that ensure compliance with the statute: highway users, automobile manufacturers, fuel distributors, tribal representation, social‑equity advocates and other targeted stakeholders. Mayer said staff began outreach to initial members and will continue to broaden membership to achieve geographic and demographic diversity.
Members asked for clarification on the working group’s role. Mayer and staff said the working group is intended to be complementary to the broader stakeholder engagement plan: its purpose is to provide technical, timely feedback and to help test proposals, not to replace public forums or the TAC’s own deliberations. Staff requested TAC members identify contacts in industry, equity communities, and fuel distribution to help fill the roster.
Why it matters The working group is intended to accelerate technical review and to provide experts who can offer rapid feedback between monthly TAC meetings. The chair, Anne Mayer, will be expected to coordinate the group’s input and ensure that the committee’s outreach obligations are met.
