Share Your Ideas. Help Others Be Heard. Make A Difference.
The CAC is a diverse group of citizens, representatives of community organizations, and industry professionals that promote public engagement and provide independent, region-oriented advice regarding regional transportation planning and related issues. Why serve on the CAC? Transportation in our region should reflect how transportation impacts you, your neighbor, and everyone else in the region. This can only be done if you get involved, learn how transportation planning works and voice your opinion. Volunteering to serve on the CAC is a great way to directly provide input to decision makers. Additional benefits include: · Helping your community or your organization get their voice heard · Getting information and discuss important planning issues directly with staff and BRTB members · Sharing new ideas or provide input that can impact regional planning New members will be appointed for 3-year terms, starting in January 2011. Shorter terms may also be available. Meetings of the CAC are generally held on the 1st Wednesday of the month at 5:30 p.m. in Baltimore City. In addition, the CAC has 3 standing subcommittees, which meet at various locations or by telephone/e-mail. The total volunteer commitment is approximately 2-5 hours per month. Applications will be accepted until September 10, 2010. |
