Metro's Accessibility Advisory Committee (AAC) is looking for riders with
disabilities and senior citizens interested in joining the group.

 

The AAC consists of 20 volunteers committed to helping Metro enhance the
travel experience of people with disabilities and senior citizens on
Metrobus, Metrorail, and MetroAccess. Maryland, Virginia and the District of
Columbia are each represented by six members, and there are two additional
members who serve at-large.

 

Positions are available for residents of the District of Columbia, Prince
George's County, Montgomery County, Arlington County, Fairfax County,
Fairfax City, City of Falls Church, and the City of Alexandria.

 

To qualify, prospective members must be riders of Metrobus, Metrorail,
and/or MetroAccess. Members of the AAC cannot be Metro employees,
contractors, or elected officials. All AAC positions are unpaid volunteer
positions.

 

Metro's Board of Directors will make the final selection of candidates from
a collection of candidates who represent a cross-section of customers with
disabilities and senior citizens, and reflect a broad representation of
people from different geographical locations in Metro's service area.

 

Applicants are advised that positions are limited and not all applicants
will be selected. However, applications will be retained for two years from
the date submitted for future consideration, and previous applicants of the
2012/2013 membership recruitment will be considered.

 

Applications can be found online at:

http://www.wmata.com/accessibility/advocacy_policy/

 

Interested candidates also may call Metro's Department of Access Services,
Office of ADA Policy and Planning at 202-962-1100 to request an application
form. Completed applications may be submitted online, mailed to the WMATA
Accessibility Advisory Committee at 600 Fifth Street, NW, Room 7A-01,
Washington, DC 20001, or faxed to 202-962-1274. The deadline to apply is 5
p.m. Friday, March 14, 2014.
