Since its inception, the Transportation
Efficiency Act for the 21st Century has provided for an external
advisory council to advise the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) Director
as to the quality and objectivity of BTS data and analyses. The Advisory Council
for Transportation Statistic (ACTS) is composed of six members appointed by the
Director. The members are chosen on the basis of their expertise in transportation
statistics, economics, and analysis. ACTS meets 2-3 times each year, in meetings
that are open to the public.
