Core and advisory membership recommended for Sudbury Transportation Committee includes town officials, transit liaisons and Lincoln-Sudbury school liaison
Summary
The charter lists recommended Core members (Select Board liaison, Council on Aging, Town Planner, Commission on Disability, MWRTA liaison, AARP appointee) and advisory entities (Police, DPW, Chamber, Board of Health, CrossTown Connect), plus named liaisons such as Mary Warzynski for Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School.
The Sudbury Transportation Committee charter names a mix of Core voting members and Advisory participants intended to bring expertise across town functions and regional transit partners. Recommended Core representation includes Dan Carty as a Select Board liaison; Robert Lieberman representing the Council on Aging; Adam Duchesneau as Town Planner and regional coordination link; Kay Bell representing the Commission on Disability; Debra Galloway as a liaison with the Metrowest Regional Transit Authority (MWRTA) and CrossTown Connect; and Alice Sapienza as a Sudbury AARP Age-Friendly/Livable Communities Ambassador.
The charter also lists advisory participants to be expanded as needed, including Public Safety (Police, Chief Nix noted as an example), the Department of Public Works (Dan Nason), the Chamber of Commerce (Martha Welsh), and the Board of Health (Bethany Hadvab). It identifies CrossTown Connect and the Planning Department as coordination partners and lists Beth Suedmeyer as a Planning Department co-liaison to CrossTown Connect. The charter directs the Town to assign a Sudbury Public Schools liaison when needed and identifies Mary Warzynski as the liaison for Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School and State Representative Carmine Gentile as a regional/state link.
The committee structure differentiates Core (voting) members, who must attend a majority of meetings and elect a Chair and Clerk, from Advisory members who are asked to attend or consult as needed. The charter leaves some roles open or listed as TBD, including a Sudbury Public Schools representative and citizen slots described as "Citizen(s) TBD." The document says the Core group will elect a Chair to run meetings and a Clerk to keep minutes and ensure prompt posting and distribution.
By listing both town and regional partners—including the MWRTA and CrossTown Connect—the charter signals an intent to coordinate across jurisdictions while keeping a local governance role. The charter also authorizes the committee to form temporary subcommittees for specific tasks and to advise the Town Manager and Select Board on transportation implications of development and policy.
