The California Transportation Permit Advisory Council (CTPAC) was held in April during the Specialized Carriers and Rigging Association (SC&RA) Conference at the Omni LaCosta Resort in Carlsbad. This year's CTPAC meeting had a huge increase in attendance. Over 50 heavy specialized carrier companies, CHP and Caltrans representatives were in attendance. In addition to the regular updates on current proposals and a review from Caltrans HQ, the CTPAC group determined that they will be putting forth a proposal to expedite equipment inspections. The propsoal could lead to revising the previous "virtual inspection" proposal for Caltrans to consider.
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.
