Mission Statement
It is the mission of the Ben Franklin Transit (BFT) Citizens Advisory Network to advocate for public transit and to serve as a resource to the BFT Board and General Manager in accomplishing the transit’s mission and goals.
About Us
Ben Franklin Transit’s Citizens Advisory Network's charge is to advocate for public transit and serve in a strictly advisory capacity as a resource to the General Manager and BFT Board of Directors. Members serve without compensation except for reimbursement for approved expenses. Monthly meetings are held in the BFT Administration Building at 1000 Columbia Park Trail, Building 1038. These meetings are open to the public.
The Citizens Advisory Network has proven valuable to BFT as public representatives in reviewing transit budgets, transit development plans, route and fare change proposals, and contributing ideas and suggestions for more efficient and user-friendly transit services. Members represent a broad spectrum of local citizens who believe efficient public transit is a core requirement for continued community growth. This group functions as transit’s eyes and ears and looks for ways to make riding transit a better experience for all.
