Metro Stakeholders,
There are currently three vacancies on Metro’s Regional Service Councils. Metro’s Service Councils contribute to the planning and approve implementation of bus transit route service changes within their area, call and conduct public hearings for all major service changes within their area, provide locally accessible public forums (monthly meetings, public hearings) to voice concerns, suggestions, questions and input on how Metro can best serve our customers, and facilitate partnerships with municipal and local transit service providers to improve service integration and coordination. To be eligible to serve, applicants must live, represent, or work in the communities within the boundaries of a designated region they wish to represent, and should use public transit multiple times each month. Representatives may be elected officials and/or private citizens. Representatives serve in three-year terms, and can serve more than one three-year term if re-appointed by the nominating authority and confirmed by the Metro Board. More information about the Service Councils is available at metro.net/about/local-service-councils/. Current vacancies and application process are as follows:
