The City of Vancouver is looking for four volunteers to serve on its Transportation and Mobility Commission. The deadline to apply is 5 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 12.
The volunteer Transportation and Mobility Commission is an 11-member commission that provides advice to Vancouver City Council, the city manager and city staff on a variety of transportation and mobility-related projects, programs and policies. It also provides ongoing feedback and guidance on development of citywide transportation policy through the update of the city’s Transportation System Plan.
Interested applicants must live within the Vancouver City Limits and be available for an interview with councilmembers on Thursday, Sept. 30. In addition to one “at-large” member, the city is specifically seeking people to serve who represent the following groups:
- Youth representative age 16-19
- Person experiencing mobility challenges due to a disability
- Person who drives as their primary mode of transportation
These appointments will be for three-year terms except for the youth representative, who will serve a one-year term.
The commission meets at 4 p.m. on the first Tuesday of every month. Meetings are currently being held remotely, but a transition to hybrid in-person/remote meetings is expected sometime this fall, in accordance with public health guidance.
