The OCTA Teen Council offers high school students an opportunity to learn about transportation-related topics while providing OCTA staff with valuable feedback on a wide range of projects. Members also build leadership, communication and teamwork skills by attending professional workshops hosted by staff.
The Teen Council is an important part of OCTA and members consistently bring fresh ideas to the table. Teen Council membership provides meaningful networking opportunities and adds distinction to college applications and resumes. Also, time spent on the council may count towards community service hours.
