> Hi all. I hope this note finds you well.
>  
> I shared this invitation a few weeks ago and am sharing again to try to encourage more participation by people with disabilities. Please read and volunteer if you have the time and interest, or please share with others you think may be interested.
>  
> I’m writing to tell you about a paid volunteer opportunity for community members to help shape the future of transit in Eastside communities. Metro and Sound Transit are recruiting community members who live, work, or travel on the Eastside or near Judkins Park in Seattle to serve on the East Link Connections Mobility Board.  The Board will meet virtually from May through November 2021 and members will be compensated $50/hour for time spent in virtual meetings and supporting public engagement events. 
>  
> We seek to recruit members who equitably represent transit riders and communities in the project area and strongly encourage people with the following identities and lived experiences to apply- Black, Indigenous, and people of color; immigrants and refugees; linguistically diverse; low-income or no-income; people with disabilities.   
>  
> Applications are available in English, Spanish, Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, Russian, Hindi, and Tagalog and are open through March 31, 2021.  All applicants who provide valid contact information will be notified of selection/non-selection in mid-April.  
>  
> Please share about this opportunity with your networks 
>  
> We will stay in touch with additional opportunities for community members to help create an updated transit network that provides fast, frequent, and reliable connections to destinations throughout the region. 
> Please reach out at any time if you have questions or comments about East Link Connections project.  We’d love to connect with you. 
>  
> Sincerely,
