Join TransMAC
Joining TransMAC is a great step towards emergency preparedness and is fairly straightforward. TransMAC is open to all transit operators in the State of California with a current focus on Central and Southern California. The process described below applies in most cases - reach out if you have any questions and/or unique situations.
Step 1
Review Agreement
Review the TransMAC agreement, which is here on our website on the Documents page. There is no cost to join TransMAC. If you are ready to move forward or have questions, contact the chair of the TransMAC Steering Committee by emailing transmac@accessla.org.
Step 2
Governing Body Approval
Typically, the agreement is presented to your Board of Directors or governing body by your agency staff. Feel free to reach out to TransMAC if you have any questions.
Step 3
Agreement Execution
With board or governing body approval, the agreement is then executed by the chief executive of your agency or designee. TransMAC will reach out for fleet and resource information to include in the Operating Guide. You will also be asked for contact information for the same purpose.
Step 4
Welcome to TransMAC
Once we have the executed agreement, you'll be sent the Operating Guide, which has a menu of resources you can request in a time of need. You'll also get the resource request form and be welcomed as a member. TransMAC meets a few times a year and hosts occasional training events. You can count joining TransMAC as a significant step towards preparedness that is respected on a State-wide level.
