(1) (a) A transportation
advisory committee is hereby created. The committee is composed of one
representative from each transportation planning region, one representative of the
Southern Ute tribe chosen by the Southern Ute Indian tribal council, and one
representative of the Ute Mountain Ute tribe chosen by the Ute Mountain Ute tribal
council. If a regional planning commission has been formed in a transportation

representative shall be chosen by the boards of county commissioners of the
counties contained in such region in consultation with officials of the municipalities
contained in such region.

(b) No later than three months after May 20, 2009, the executive director, in
consultation with the commission, shall appoint a special interim transit and rail
advisory committee to specifically advise the commission and the executive
director regarding the initial focus of the transit and rail division created in section
43-1-117.5 and to recommend a long-term advisory structure, including the advisory
structure's purpose and role, in support of the transit and rail-related functions of
the department. The special interim transit and rail advisory committee shall
include such representatives of industries and other groups interested in transit
and rail issues and such other individuals as the executive director, in consultation
with the commission, deems appropriate; except that the committee shall include,
at a minimum, one or more:

(I) Representatives of transit operators;

(II) Representatives of class I railroads;

(III) Representatives of short line railroads; and

(IV) Representatives of entities or interest groups involved in the promotion,
planning, or development of passenger rail systems.

(2) The committee shall provide advice to both the department and the
commission on the needs of the transportation systems in Colorado, including but
not limited to budgets, transportation improvement programs, the statewide
transportation improvement program, transportation plans, and state
transportation policies, and shall review and provide comment to both the
department and the commission on all regional transportation plans submitted for
the transportation planning regions. The activities of the committee shall not be
construed to constrain or replace the county hearing process.
