An Act relative to regional transit authority advisory boards

This bill amends Section 5 of Chapter 161B to extend the term length for most advisory board members from one year to two years. It also adds a new requirement for regional transit authority advisory boards to include one voting representative from the "Gateway Municipality rider community" serving a three-year term. This representative must be an active transit rider appointed by their municipality, with specific rules preventing multiple representatives from the same city/town and requiring appointment by the mayor or city manager. The changes directly affect regional transit authority advisory boards in Massachusetts, modifying their composition and term structures.
