Metro is creating a Youth Council to better enable young people to engage with and participate in transportation plans, projects, programs and initiatives.

Youth ages 14-17 are encouraged to apply. Online information sessions will be held on Thursday, Nov. 4, at 6 p.m.; Saturday, Nov. 6, at 11 a.m.; and Tuesday, Nov. 9, at 6 p.m.

The Youth Council will ensure Metro listens to the concerns and hopes of young people and future riders. Members must commit to a one-year term, participate in monthly meetings and complete an Introduction to Metro training program. For information and to apply, email metroyouthcouncil@metro.net or visit metro.net/youthcouncil.
