The Teen Council holds an hour and a half long meeting once every other month during the regular school year, beginning in August and ending in May. Members will be introduced to OCTA projects covering diverse subjects that affect transportation decisions in Orange County.

Students also will have the opportunity to take part in workshops that will help them with professional development.
