SSTAC meetings are generally quarterly. At least once a year, the council holds a public hearing to solicit input on transportation needs from older individuals, persons with disabilities, and persons with limited means, in accordance with the California Public Utilities Code. The next public hearing will be at the June 23, 2026, 10 a.m. SSTAC meeting. Members of the public are invited to provide testimony at this or any future meeting of the SSTAC.

Members of the public who are not able to participate in the public hearing are encouraged to provide testimony using this online comment card by 8 a.m. on Tuesday, June 23, 2026. You may also leave a voicemail at 619.699.7313. These comments will be read by SANDAG staff during the meeting and documented along with all other comments received.
