According to Draft Bill, BLTATA will have 21 members, with the minister’s chairman as Chair and Minister of Development and Transportation Bengaluru as Deputy Chairperson.
Other members include the Mayor of the BBMP and representatives of departments such as urban development, transportation, finance, public works, women’s and children’s development, police, BBMP, BDA, BMRDA, BMRCL, City Directorate and State Planning, Pollution Notifications, and Karnataka Development of Railroad Infrastructure .
Commissioner Dult will be the CEO.
There will be two special invitations from the southwestern train and the National Highway Authority of India.
