How CAB is Governed​

The County Advisory Board is a statutory board enacted in 1989 and created by the Oklahoma Department of Transportation.  The Board is composed of 9 county commissioners selected by the Oklahoma Cooperative Circuit Engineering Districts Board.  One member from each of the eight Circuit Engineering Districts and one member selected at large by the other eight CAB members.  The members will serve a two-year term with their term beginning July 1st.   The Board will meet no less than quarterly with the ODOT Director and staff.   The CAB members elect three officers; President, Vice President, and Secretary/Treasurer to serve a one-year term.  CAB meetings, which comply with the Open Meeting Act, are usually held in conjunction with the Association of County Commissioners' conferences and/or at ODOT's Transportation Commission Room.
