Transportation Commission Recruiting; Senior and Social Services Also
More active transportation and transit solutions are needed to reduce the bulk of our community’s local greenhouse gas emissions!
The City of Davis is recruiting new members of the Transportation Commission this month. With the General Plan is being updated soon, commissions will take a leading role in community engagement. They will help collect feedback from residents on key elements in the Plan, such as open space, land use, housing and conservation. What gets decided locally and included in the General Plan will have a long term effect on reaching Davis’ Climate Action and Adaptation Goals.
The Transportation Commission:
- Advises on transportation programs, policies, projects and planning efforts for all modes including active transportation (bicycle, pedestrian, scooters, etc.), transit (Unitrans, Yolobus, etc.) and other modes.
- Serves as the lead commission on implementation of transportation aspects of the Climate Action and Adaptation Plan.
- Holds a public meeting once a year to review any proposed Unitrans route, schedule and fare changes.
Applicants must be residents who are 18 years of age and older. The Senior Commission and Social Services Commission also need members.
The application deadline is July 1, 2024. Applications are tentatively scheduled to be submitted to City Council for appointment at a public meeting in July. For an application, visit: https://www.cityofdavis.org/city-hall/city-clerk/apply-to-serve-on-a-city-commission. Submit the application via email to: ClerkWeb@cityofdavis.org, via mail to the City Clerk’s Office at: City Hall (23 Russell Blvd., Suite 1, Davis, CA, 95616) or via the drop box located in the City Hall parking lot.
Commission applicants participate in a 15-minute interview via Zoom with the City Council Subcommittee and City staff.

Cool Davis is hoping all our friends living in Rancho Yolo remain well! This is a reminder of our fragile grid and the need to look after each other during heat emergencies. Hurray that the City of Davis City now has Social Services staff to join City of Davis Fire Department to assist when a vulnerable neighborhood's power goes down.
For other down neighborhoods - remember to check on your neighbors! If your power is still on consider ways to reduce your energy use pre-cool , cover windows, delay appliance use, double up with neighbors in a cool location - cooling center (see City post for cooling center info), movie theater etc to reduce loads. After the emergency, move forward on your plans for how you will reduce and manage energy use in the future. We have to stand together to adapt to new climate challenges. Cool Davis and our many partners are here to help.
