Riders' Advisory Council is looking for riders to fill eight available
positions on the volunteer council. Positions are available for residents in the
District of Columbia (2), Fairfax County, Virginia (2), Prince George’s County,
Maryland (1), Alexandria, Virginia (1) and Arlington County, Virginia (1).
There is also one at-large position available to a resident of any jurisdiction
served by Metro. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-right:21.0pt;background:white'><span lang=EN>The
21-member council is made up of six individuals each from Maryland, Virginia
and the District of Columbia, two at-large members and the Chairman of Metro's
Accessibility Advisory Committee. The Council advises the agency's Board of
Directors on issues affecting Metrobus, Metrorail and MetroAccess service. It
was created in December 2005 as part of a series of initiatives to improve
communications with riders. <br>
<br>
Metro is seeking applicants who ride Metrobus, Metrorail and/or MetroAccess and
are not Metro employees, contractors or elected officials. All positions are
unpaid. <br>
<br>
Individuals on the Riders' Advisory Council represent a cross-section of
Metro’s riders from around the region. The Council includes people with
different riding patterns, people who use Metrobus, Metrorail and MetroAccess,
transit-dependent people, people with disabilities, people who travel short
distances and others who travel long distances. <br>
<br>
Anyone interested in applying should go to <a
href="http://www.wmata.com/about_metro/riders_advisory_council/%20"><span
style='color:windowtext;text-decoration:none'>http://www.wmata.com/about_metro/riders_advisory_council/
</span></a>and complete the online form. Applicants also may print, complete
and mail an application or pick one up at Metro sales offices at Metro Center,
Anacostia, the Pentagon Transit Center and Metro headquarters, 600 Fifth
Street, NW, Washington, DC. Applications must be received by Metro by 5 p.m.
Friday, October 15. <br>
<br>
Metro’s Board will appoint the final candidates at its December meeting. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
