Please see the announcement below from our contact at the city. I think in a lot of ways this is in response to our efforts recently. We should really try to get some members on this Commission

> Happy Friday All  – Wanted to share an exciting update and opportunity. We’re forming a Transportation and Mobility commission to help improve the safety and reliability of Vancouver’s transportation system.
>  
> The City is looking for 11 volunteers to serve on the new commission and, specifically, members who represent different abilities (e.g. people who are blind or visually impaired) and different primary modes of transportation (like those who take public transit or walk).
>  
> The deadline to apply is 5 p.m. on March 17, 2020.
>  
> I’ve included some more details below. You can learn more and apply on our website here: https://www.cityofvancouver.us/TMC
> The volunteer Transportation and Mobility Commission will provide advice to Vancouver City Council, the City Manager and city staff on a variety of transportation and mobility-related projects, programs and policies. It will also provide ongoing feedback and guidance on development of citywide transportation policy through the update of the city’s Transportation System Plan, which is now underway.
>  
> All commission members must live within the Vancouver city limits, and up to two members can live outside the city but within the Vancouver Urban Growth Boundary. In addition to one “at large” commissioner, the city is specifically seeking people to serve who represent the following groups:
> ·         Person age 16-19
> ·         Person who is differently-abled
> ·         Person age 65 or older
> ·         City neighborhood association member

> ·         Person with expertise or experience in transportation planning, design, engineering, maintenance or operations
> ·         Person who uses public transit is their primary mode of transportation
> ·         Person who bicycles as their primary mode of transportation
> ·         Person who walks as their primary mode of transportation
> ·         Person who drives as their primary mode of transportation
