Texas SB2770 aims to ensure equitable representation in transportation planning decision-making.

Texas SB2770 amends the Transportation Code to mandate that members of certain transportation-related entities reflect the state's diverse geographic regions and population groups. The bill requires that one member reside in a rural area and be a registered voter of a county with a population of less than 150,000. Another member must have experience as a frequent transit user, bicycle or pedestrian commuter, or as a person with a disability.
