Community Advisory Committee (CAC)

We are accepting applications for several seats on the CAC. This committee provides citizen input to the transportation planning process and strives to reflect the diversity of Central Florida, including members who represent under-served or disadvantaged communities. The committee is structured to include representatives from across the transportation spectrum. Find out more about the Community Advisory Committee here.

Potential members should meet the following requirements:
• Be interested in various modes of transportation (including, but not limited to, private motor vehicles, bicycling, walking, freight, bus and rail)
• Reside in Orange, Osceola or Seminole counties
• Not work in the transportation industry
• Not be serving as elected officials

How to Apply

Applying to join the committee is easy. Just fill out this application and tell us why you’re interested.

Applications can be submitted online or mailed to: MetroPlan Orlando, ATTN: CAC Application, 250 South Orange Avenue, Suite 200, Orlando, FL 32801. All applications will be reviewed by a panel, which will make recommendations to the MetroPlan Orlando Board for official appointments. The application process will remain open until positions are filled.
