SRTC Seeking New Members For Our Transportation Advisory Committee

Are you looking for a volunteer position that gives you a voice in developing local policies, works closely with area decision makers and lets you have a hand in transportation and land use choices that help shape and develop the regional transportation system?
 
SRTC is seeking members for our Transportation Advisory Committee (TAC). The TAC is a citizens’ advisory group that provides transparency and a community perspective to the transportation planning process. The TAC advises the SRTC Policy Board regarding plans, programs and activities to determine consistency with SRTC policies; makes recommendations on regional transportation policies; and serves as a conduit for information between the Board and the public.

TAC Members represent the general public and groups including, but not limited to, people with disabilities, senior citizens, youth, the business and freight moving communities, traditional automobile users and advocates for non-motorized transportation or public transit. It is important that the TAC has representatives from as many of the populations above in order to represent as many sectors of society as possible.
 
The TAC meets the fourth Monday of every month at 3 p.m. Meetings are held at SRTC, 221 W. First Ave., Ste. 310, Spokane, WA 99201.
 
TAC applications and more information on the committee are available at http://www.srtc.org/tac_page.html or by calling (509) 343-6370 to have one mailed or faxed. The deadline to submit applications is 4 p.m. Saturday, November 30, 2013. Feel free to call me at (509) 343-6387 if you have questions or you can attend the November 25, 2013 TAC meeting to get a feel for what it's all about.
