Riders' Advisory Council (RAC)
On December 15, 2005, the Metro Board appointed a Riders' Advisory Council. This group allows Metro customers an unprecedented level of input on bus, rail and MetroAccess service.
The 21-member Council includes six individuals from Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia, two at-large members and the head of Metro's Elderly and Disabled Transportation Advisory Committee. More than 940 individuals applied for the Council after Metro's Board approved its creation in September 22, 2005.
Council meetings are open to the public. Meetings are held the first Wednesday of each month from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. in the lobby level Meeting Room at Metro's Headquarters located at 600 Fifth Street, NW, Washington, D.C. Please call 202/962-2891 for more information.
