Opening on Transportation Commission

Bellevue City Council invites local residents to apply for a seat on the Transportation Commission, which is crucial in shaping the city's transportation policies. Applications are open until July 11, with options to apply online or via paper forms available at various city locations. The commission meets monthly, with additional meetings as needed, to ensure community needs are reflected in transportation planning. Applicants must be residents of Bellevue, and the city emphasizes the importance of diversity in its civic engagements. Commissioners volunteer for four-year terms, appointed by the mayor with council approval. This commission plays a significant role in developing funding strategies and traffic standards for the city's multimodal transportation system. Interested individuals can reach out to senior transportation planner Kevin McDonald for more information. The application process aims to encourage participation from a broad range of community perspectives.
