The upcoming California Transportation Permit Advisory Council (CTPAC) has been scheduled for Thursday, Nov. 3 and will be held at CTA HQ. Representatives from the national organization Specialized Carriers and Rigging Association will be in attendance as well. The purpose of the California Transportation Permit Advisory Council (CTPAC) is to provide a forum for government and industry viewpoints on State transportation permitting policies and procedures. Both Caltrans and industry believe that this is an effective way of understanding and improving the permit process. CTPAC representatives use council and steering committee meetings to update their members on changes and help resolve permit-related issues.
