Call for applications for vacancies on WMATA Elderly & Disabled Transportation Advisory Committee

WMATA wants to hear from people like you.
Our customers with disabilities and senior citizens have a lot to say about our service. More importantly, they have a lot of good ideas to share. The WMATA Elderly & Disabled Transportation Advisory Committee advises Metro on ways to improve metrobus, metrorail, and MetroAccess services. Senior Citizens and customers with disabilities have a chance to participate in making Metro better.

WMATA is currently soliciting applications from customers interested in filling vacancies on the WMATA Elderly & Disabled Transportation Advisory Committee.

Do you qualify?
We encourage you to apply for membership if you:
1. Are senior or disabled and Ride Metrobus, Metrorail and/or MetroAccess and
2. Live in the District of Columbia, Prince Georges County, Montgomery County, Arlington County, Fairfax County or the City of Alexandria, Virginia.
3. Are not employed by WMATA or a WMATA contractor and
4. Are not an elected official.

How members are selected.
WMATA's General Mangager will select candidates that represent an accurate cross-section of customers and reflect a broad representation of people from different geographical locations in the WMATA service area. With six vacancies, not every applicant can be accepted.

What you give. What you get.
If selected, you will advise our General Manager. You won't be paid, but you will have the opportunity to help make a difference in the way Metro serves the region, particularly how Metro serves those customers who are senior or disabled.

The application period has closed. (Applications were due by 5 p.m. on June 20.)
