Applications Being Accepted from Volunteers for Transportation Disadvantaged Group
Posted on: September 30, 2024 in Public Involvement, Transportation Disadvantaged
Are you interested in improving transportation for the most vulnerable members of our community – older adults, people who have disabilities, or those who are economically disadvantaged? Here’s your chance. MetroPlan Orlando is taking applications for three seats on the Transportation Disadvantaged Local Coordinating Board (TDLCB).
We are currently accepting applications for: 1) For-Profit Operator, 2) At-Large Alternate, and 3) Representing the Elderly (over 65).
The TDLCB coordinates transportation needs of the physically challenged and economically disadvantaged in Orange, Osceola, and Seminole counties through ACCESS LYNX. People in these volunteer positions attend quarterly meetings and have materials to read and evaluate in between meetings. The application form is available at: MetroPlanOrlando.gov/TDLCB
Composed of representatives from local governments and transportation providers, as well as private citizens, the primary responsibility of the TDLCB is to evaluate service provided by ACCESS LYNX. The TDLCB reviews price, service levels, safety, eligibility and other pertinent issues. Click here to learn more about the group.
