Manatee County is accepting applications for three vacancies on a citizens advisory committee that makes recommendations on regional transportation issues. The Citizen Advisory Committee (CAC) assists the Metropolitan Planning Organization by providing input to the transportation planning process that reflects citizens' views and attitudes.
CAC members represent a general cross section of the citizens of Sarasota and Manatee counties including the cities within the counties. CAC representatives are recommended for appointment by their respective units of local government and are appointed by the MPO Board. Manatee County residents may apply for the following the three seats:
- One resident of unincorporated Manatee County;
- One at-large seat representing minorities;
- One at-large representing the disabled.
Applications are taken through a rolling application process, and may be found online at www.mymanatee.org/advisory_boards
Applications for this vacancy are due Oct. 5. The group meets at 5 p.m. on the second Monday of months in which an MPO meeting is scheduled.
The committee meets in the main conference room at the Sarasota/Manatee Metropolitan Planning Organization Office at 7632 15th St E, Sarasota FL 34243.
