The San Francisco County Transportation Authority has announced one vacancy on the Geary Bus Rapid Transit Citizens Advisory Committee (GCAC). The Committee meets on a quarterly basis and advises the Authority throughout the project process.
The Geary Bus Rapid Transit project is designed to speed up buses and make service more reliable and comfortable along Geary Boulevard, as well as improve pedestrian conditions among the busy corridor with new medians, safer crossings, landscaping and countdown signals. BRT service could potentially begin in 2016/17. More on the pros & cons of Geary BRT
The Citizens Advisory Committee provides input in refining the BRT alternatives, considering project benefits and impacts for all users of the corridor, developing mitigation strategies, and identifying a preferred alternative.
Currently the project is working on an environmental study, with the study team and other public agencies working collaboratively with the GCAC, as well as inviting public participation through community meetings.
If you’re interested in applying for the open position on the Citizens Advisory Committee, visit gearybrt.org for more information and download the application form. Applicants from neighborhoods along the Geary corridor are particularly encouraged to apply. The application deadline is October 24 at 5pm.
