Hi Anna,

Just wanted to let you know that the Access Paratransit Advisory
Committee (APAC) recruitment is now live!

APAC is recruiting King County residents who use Access services, have
family members that use Access services, or work at/with orgs that
support paratransit services in King County. We would greatly
appreciate DR WA sharing this with any organizations or community
members that you feel would be interested in applying to APAC.

You can read more about APAC and apply at kingcounty.gov/metro/apac!

You can also read more about the recruitment on this Metro Blog
Post.<https://kingcountymetro.blog/2023/03/24/be-a-voice-for-equal-access-apply-to-join-access-paratransit-advisory-committee/>

Let me know if you have any questions or would like to connect!

Best,
Jordan

Hi Anna and Kimberly,

My name is Jordan Hoover. I am a community engagement planner at King
County Metro and the staff liaison for the Access Paratransit Advisory
Committee (APAC). Luke Distelhorst recommended that I reach out to
y’all about a King County committee recruitment that will be open
soon.

First off, I participated in the week without driving last year and it
was an enlightening experience. I appreciate the much needed work that
y’all do!

In late March, we will be starting recruitment for 8 seats on APAC and
want to get the word out to eligible people (Access riders, family
members of Access riders, representatives of organizations that
provide services to Access riders and representatives of organizations
that support Access riders who have limited English proficiency) to
apply!

We will have some internal communications going out to Access riders
once the application goes live but would appreciate getting connected
to any organizations or specific people that you think would be
interested in applying to the Access Paratransit Advisory Committee.

Would either of you know any people or organizations with people that
may be interested in applying to APAC?

Best Regards,
Jordan
