The Transit Riders Advisory Committee (TRAC) is a committee of volunteers who ride PSTA at least two times per week. The purpose of the Committee is to provide insight and recommendations to the PSTA Board of Directors and its committees on operational and service issues. The Committee is comprised of members from the public, representing diversity and geographic distribution of people in Pinellas County. 

Purpose of TRAC: 

1. Provide knowledge of the system, rider experience, and ideas to improve operations and efficiency. 
2. Engage with staff during the planning process to ensure that the rider’s perspective is the foundation for agency plans and service. 
3. Promote and aid staff in better dissemination of general PSTA information. 
4. Act as a rider focus group for PSTA proposals and projects. 

Committee Representation Consists of: 

• 12 transit users (defined by at least 2 trips per week) selected to reflect the diversity and geographic distribution of county residents 
• 9 county representatives ideally: 2 representatives from north county, 3 from mid county, 3 from south county, 1 from the beach communities 
• 1 PSTA Access user 
• 1 student 
• 1 professional in the field of engineering, architecture, planning, legal business, finance, environmental, or similar 

Committee meetings usually take place the third Tuesday of each month at 4:00 PM either via Zoom or at PSTA headquarters in St. Petersburg (near Carillon). 

Current TRAC Members: 

• Gloria Lepik-Corrigan – Chair 
• Roman Shurubalko – Vice-Chair 
• Mark Boyce 
• Teresa Dunphy 
• Maxwell Johnson 
• Elisabeth Olden 
• Kimberly Rankine 
• Peter Wray 
• Richard Powell 
• Konrad Langenheim 
• Jay James 
• Richard McDaniel 
• Stuart Westerman 

Want to get involved? We’re always looking for passionate riders to join TRAC. If you ride PSTA regularly and want to help shape the future of transit in Pinellas County, we’d love to hear from you. Apply to become a TRAC member or nominate someone for the TRAC Star Award. 

All committee meetings are open to the public. We believe the best transit solutions come from bringing different voices together around the same table.
