\"ApplyThe Baltimore Regional Transportation Board is currently
\n seeking members for their Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC).  <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The CAC is a diverse group of
\n citizens, representatives of community organizations, and industry
\n professionals that promote public engagement and provide independent,
\n region-oriented advice regarding regional transportation planning and related
\n issues.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Why serve on the CAC?<\/span><\/span><\/i><\/b><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Transportation
\n in our region should reflect how transportation impacts you, your neighbor,
\n and everyone else in the region. This can only be done if you get involved,
\n learn how transportation planning works and voice your opinion. Volunteering
\n to serve on the CAC is a great way to directly provide input to decision
\n makers.  Additional benefits include: <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7        <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Helping
\n your community or your organization get their voice heard <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7        
\n <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Getting
\n information and discuss important planning issues directly with staff and BRTB
\n members <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7        
\n <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Sharing
\n new ideas or provide input that can impact regional planning<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

New members will be appointed for 3-year
\n terms, starting in January 2011.  Shorter terms may also be
\n available.  Meetings of the CAC are generally held on the 1st Wednesday
\n of the month at 5:30 p.m. in Baltimore City. In addition, the CAC has 3
\n standing subcommittees, which meet at various locations or by
\n telephone\/e-mail. The total volunteer commitment is approximately 2-5 hours
\n per month.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Applications will be accepted until September 10, 2010<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/strong>.
