Call for Applications for Vacancies on the Accessibility Advisory Committee (formerly the Elderly & Disabled Transportation Advisory Committee)

Metro 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. Customers with disabilities and senior citizens have a chance to participate in making Metro better. The Accessibility Advisory Committee (AAC) advises Metro on ways to improve Metrobus, Metrorail and MetroAccess.

Metro is currently soliciting applications from customers interested in filling vacancies on its Accessibility Advisory Committee. You may apply online by selecting the link at the end of this page. You can also fax your application to: (202) 962-2722. An application may also be mailed, faxed, or e-mailed to you upon request by calling (202)962-6060.

Do you qualify?
We encourage you to apply for membership if you meet the following minimum qualifications:
1. Are senior (65+) or disabled and regularly ride Metrobus, Metrorail and/or MetroAccess;
2. Live in Prince Georges County, Montgomery County, Arlington County, or Fairfax County;
3. Are not employed by Metro or a Metro contractor, and;
4. Are not an elected official.

How members are selected.

Metro's Board of Directors will select candidates that represent an accurate cross-section of customers who are senior and/ or have a disability and reflect a broad representation of people from different geographical locations in the WMATA service area.

What you give and what you get.
If selected, you will advise our Board of Directors. You will attend AAC meetings on the 1st Monday of each month from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., and meetings of the Bus/Rail Subcommittee and the MetroAccess Subcommittee in succeeding weeks from 4 p.m. – 6 p.m. as appropriate. This is an all-volunteer membership where you will have the opportunity to help make a difference in the way Metro serves persons with disabilities and seniors including customers who require assistance with access to the Metro system.
