The 20-member committee has six members each from Maryland, Virginia and the District, plus two at-large members. Positions are available for residents from the District, Alexandria and Prince George’s, Montgomery, Fairfax, Arlington counties.

The positions are unpaid.

The Accessibility Advisory Committee recently has been active in expressing concerns to Metro about proposed fare hikes and the impact on those with disabilities who may be living on fixed incomes.
