The City of Somerville is seeking resident volunteers to join the Somerville Pedestrian and Transit Advisory Committee (PTAC). Founded two years ago, PTAC provides input on policies, plans, and projects that impact public transit riders and pedestrians. The committee consists of
transit and pedestrian commuters; persons with disabilities; seniors, youth and students; business and institutional representatives; lower-income residents; and transit or pedestrian advocates.

Committee members will be appointed for a two-year term.

Staff support to PTAC is provided by the City’s Mobility Division. PTAC meets with diverse subject experts, assists in stakeholder engagement, supports data collection and topical research, reviews project plans and prepares policy recommendations to the City. Major areas of focus include street and sidewalk design, traffic calming interventions, traffic signal operations, MBTA bus service planning and bus priority infrastructure.

How to Apply:
Interested community members should send a brief statement of interest and information on any relevant qualifications to transportation@somervillema.gov and SomervillePTAC@gmail.com by noon on Friday, Sept.17, 2021
