Chosen applicants will join 17-member panel that advises on various topics affecting the district

 The Regional Transportation District (RTD) is seeking community members who are interested in public transit issues and community engagement to apply for one of six available positions on the Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC). The 17-member group advises the agency on RTD’s strategies, initiatives and transportation programs. CAC members represent a wide variety of backgrounds, interests and professional experiences. 

Individuals interested in applying for a position may complete an online application or contact the RTD Board Office at [email protected] or call 303-299-2307 for an application. 

To be considered, applications must be received by 11:59 PM MT on Friday, Oct. 25. Applicants are encouraged to review the CAC Charter and CAC webpage for more information on the role and responsibilities of CAC members.  

Selection criteria will include, but not be limited to, residence within the RTD district; a demonstrated interest in public transit; previous community service; experience working with local jurisdictions on regional issues; and professional expertise. 

The RTD CAC is made up of residents and businesspersons from around the region who volunteer their time to advise RTD leadership on a range of issues impacting the region. The group meets monthly, and members may complete tasks in support of CAC projects outside of official committee meetings. 

RTD employees, their immediate family members, and elected officials are not eligible to serve on the CAC. A nominating committee comprised of current CAC members, RTD Board Directors, and Board Office staff will review applications and make recommendations to the full Board for approval at the November Board of Directors meeting. Members are appointed to serve a three-year term and can be reappointed to a second three-year term. Terms for the selected new members will commence in January of 2025.
