We NEED YOU! The HART Board of Directors is seeking interested residents to serve on the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) Citizens Advisory Committee.
The CAC is composed of appointed citizens (transportation agency staff are not eligible) who together shall represent a broad spectrum of social and economic backgrounds and who have an interest in the development of an efficient, safe and cost-effective transportation system. Minorities, the elderly and persons with disabilities must be adequately represented on the CAC. All members must be residents of Hillsborough County.
The application process opened on February 17th and closes on March 12th, 2021. Appointments to the MPO CAC will be made at the April 5, 2021, HART Board meeting.
Citizens interested in being considered for appointment must submit: 1) a completed Questionnaire for MPO CAC; and 2) a Standards of Conduct Form. All questions must be answered. The forms are available on the HART website here. Incomplete applications will be disqualified. Forms must be signed and dated.
