We’re Seeking New Members for Our Community Advisory Committee; Apply by January 12

Posted on: December 13, 2017 in MetroPlan Orlando Advisory Committees

Are you interested in getting more involved in transportation planning? Here’s your chance – we’re filling three vacancies on our Community Advisory Committee: one multimodal advocate (voting seat) and two non-voting alternates. Non-voting alternates will be full participants in committee discussions and meetings.

The committee provides citizen input to the transportation planning process and strives to reflect the diversity of the Central Florida community, including those who are underserved or disadvantaged. The committee is structured to include representatives from across the transportation spectrum, including bicyclists, pedestrians, drivers, and transit riders (bus and rail). For more information on the Community Advisory Committee, see the bylaws here.

Requirements for Membership

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 currently serve as an elected official

How to Apply

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

Applications should be submitted online by January 12, 2018 or mailed to MetroPlan Orlando, ATTN: CAC Application, 250 South Orange Avenue, Suite 200, Orlando, FL 32801. All applications will be reviewed by a subcommittee, which will make recommendations to the MetroPlan Orlando Board. The Board will make official committee appointments at its February 14, 2018 meeting.
