MetroPlan Orlando Seeks Volunteers for Three Transportation Advisory Positions

Central Florida residents interested in transportation planning, mobility, and public transit can apply to serve on one of three advisory committees through November 30.

MetroPlan Orlando is looking for Central Florida residents interested in helping shape the region’s transportation future. The regional transportation planning agency is accepting applications for three volunteer positions on its advisory committees, with a deadline of November 30.

The openings offer residents an opportunity to contribute to conversations about transportation planning, traffic management, technology improvements, and mobility services for people who face transportation challenges.

Three Advisory Committee Opportunities

MetroPlan Orlando has openings on three committees, each with a different role in addressing the region’s transportation needs.

The first opportunity is a non-voting alternate position on the Community Advisory Committee (CAC). The committee provides a public perspective on proposed transportation plans and programs, reviewing and evaluating projects before they move forward. Its work helps ensure community members have a voice in regional transportation decisions.

Another opening is for a MetroPlan Orlando appointee to the Transportation Systems Management & Operations (TSMO) Committee. This group focuses on ways to improve the performance of existing transportation infrastructure through technology and operational strategies. Its recommendations aim to address traffic congestion, make transportation systems more efficient, and improve air quality across Central Florida.

The third position is a for-profit operator representative on the Transportation Disadvantaged Local Coordinating Board (TDLCB). The board addresses transportation challenges affecting people who cannot easily access traditional public transportation, including seniors, individuals with disabilities, and people facing economic or other barriers to mobility.

How to Apply

MetroPlan Orlando is encouraging residents who want to participate in local transportation planning to consider applying for one of the available positions.

Applications must be submitted by November 30. Additional information about the committee roles and application process is available through the agency’s website.
