Now recruiting! King County Metro Equity Cabinet

King County Metro needs new members to join our Mobility Equity Cabinet to help us shape our transit policies, plans and programs. We value your thoughts and opinions!

Members of the cabinet will:

• Gain a deep understanding of Metro as an organization, its guiding policies, services, operations and decision making.
• Build and strengthen connections in their communities, learn and share about their community’s history, assets, needs and priorities around transit.
• Shape Metro initiatives and policy updates by collaborating and advising us on key initiatives and policy updates.

We are seeking applicants who live, work or regularly visit King County, or use King County Metro services.

 We encourage applications from:

• Black and Indigenous people and those from other communities of color
• Immigrants and refugees
• Linguistically diverse communities
• People with disabilities
• People with low-income
• Residents of all areas of King County including unincorporated areas
• Youth, seniors, LGBTQIA+ and those who are unhoused

Members are compensated $50 per hour for time attending meetings, reviewing materials, community research and engagement, or other, related activities outside of meetings.

Metro strongly encourages youth and young people to apply. Established members will offer opportunities to pair up with and mentor newer members and youth will be encouraged to take an active role in ensuring our outcomes represent the values and priorities of the next generation of transit riders.

Monthly meetings will be held virtually on weekday evenings. There will be up to two in-person meetings at the beginning of the term and one to two additional in-person meetings or events per year. In-person meetings or events may be scheduled on weeknights or weekends, depending on group preference.

Metro will provide reasonable accommodations needed for participation such as interpretation during meetings, translation of materials and alternative formats. Metro will seek to address other request such as technology support or childcare stipends on a case-by-case basis.
