The Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District Board is comprised of 19 members, representing six counties. County of Sonoma represents 3 Directors in total: 1 Director is an elected member of the Board of Supervisors, 1 Director is an elected member of the Council of Mayors and Councilmembers and is appointed by the Board of Supervisors and 1 Director is a non-elected, public member appointed by the Board of Supervisors. The goal of the Board is to provide safe, efficient, reliable means for the movement of people, goods, and services within the Highway 101, Golden Gate Corridor. The District operates and maintains the Golden Gate Bridge in a structurally sound condition, provides public transit services including bus and ferry systems, and carries out its activities in a cost-effective, fiscally responsible manner.
The current item recommends Chris Snyder for reappointment to the non-elected, public member seat. Chris was previously appointed to the Golden Gate Bridge District Board on December 15, 2020. Chris has a background in political science and completed a Harvard Trade Union Program. Chris was a prior Board member of both the Sonoma County Workforce Development Board and the Sonoma County Transportation Committee Citizens Advisory Board. Two applications were received.
