ST. CLOUD, Fla. — St. Cloud Deputy Mayor Ken Gilbert has been appointed chairman of the Transportation Disadvantaged Local Coordinating Board (TDLCB), a regional board dedicated to improving transportation access for residents with special mobility needs.
The Transportation Disadvantaged Local Coordinating Board focuses on identifying and coordinating transportation services for individuals who cannot easily access traditional public transportation. This includes residents with physical or economic challenges, as well as senior citizens who rely on alternative transportation options to reach essential services.
The board is made up of representatives from local governments, transportation providers, and community organizations. Together, they work to ensure that transportation resources are effectively coordinated to serve vulnerable populations throughout the region.
“I am honored to represent the City of St. Cloud on this board, and to have been appointed chairman,” Gilbert said. “The work this board does is critical for so many in our community and throughout the region. Transportation is so important to everyone in our growing region, but especially to those who struggle with accessing essential transportation services.”
Gilbert was elected to St. Cloud City Council Seat 4 in 2022 and currently serves as the city’s Deputy Mayor. His new leadership role with the Transportation Disadvantaged Local Coordinating Board places him at the forefront of regional discussions about transportation accessibility and mobility solutions for residents who depend on coordinated services.
City officials say Gilbert’s appointment will help ensure that the needs of St. Cloud residents are represented as the region continues to grow and transportation demands evolve.
