Board of Directors
The Denton County Transportation Authority is governed by a 14-member board appointed by respective entities:
- Three members are appointed by "small cities" (population <= 17,000)
- Eight members are appointed by "large cities" (population > 17,000)
- Two members are appointed from unincorporated areas of the county
- One member represents the county at-large
Although a DCTA Board member must reside in Denton County, the member does not have to reside in a DCTA-member city.
All members serve two-year terms. Board members must have professional experience in the field of transportation, business, government, engineering or law. In accordance with DCTA By-laws, the Board adopts the annual operating budget and is responsible for setting policy. The president oversees the day-to-day operations of the DCTA and implements policies set forth by the Board.

Famous quotes containing the word board:
“What happens in a strike happens not to one person alone.... It is a crisis with meaning and potency for all and prophetic of a future. The elements in crisis are the same, there is a fermentation that is identical. The elements are these: a body of men, women and children, hungry; an organization of feudal employers out to break the back of unionization; and the government Labor Board sent to “negotiate” between this hunger and this greed.”
—Meridel Le Sueur (b. 1900)
