The Department of Transportation is seeking nominations for members to serve on the agency’s Advisory Committee on Transportation Equity, an effort aimed at empowering communities to “have a meaningful voice in local and regional transportation decisions, and prevent discrimination.”
The committee, originally chartered by the Obama administration in late 2016, was dissolved by President Donald Trump in 2018, but is now being revived by the Biden administration. The May 13 announcement said that members appointed to the committee may be selected to serve either as representatives of an organization or as members appointed solely for their expertise. Interested persons should submit a letter of interest and a statement of qualifications, such as a resume, through mid-June, according to the pre-publication Federal Register announcement.
