California Freight Advisory Committee

Background

Caltrans established the California Freight Advisory Committee (CFAC) in collaboration with the California Transportation Agency (CalSTA) in response to Assembly Bill (AB) 14 (Lowenthal, 2013), consistent with the federal Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act (FAST Act) guidance. The CFAC is a charted member advisory body representing public and private sector freight stakeholders, including representatives of ports, shippers, carriers, freight-related associations, the freight industry workforce, the transportation department of the State, and local governments.

The CFAC meets quarterly at various locations across the state to participate in the development of the California Freight Mobility Plan (CFMP) and to advise the State on freight-related priorities, issues, projects, and funding needs.
