BTS is Looking for Advisory Committee Members
 
We have two vacancies on our Bethesda Transportation Demand Management (TMD) Advisory Committee. Both nominees must reside in a neighborhood adjacent to the Bethesda TMD or in the Town of Chevy Chase.
 
Transportation management organizations – such as Bethesda Transportation Solutions (BTS) – manage transportation demand and promote carpooling and use of public transportation. BTS focuses on traffic assessment, pedestrian safety, parking and the need for capital improvements in the business district. A major emphasis is placed on promoting programs for transit and ridesharing with employers and employees in the Bethesda urban district. 
 
BTS is administered by the Bethesda Urban Partnership (BUP) through a grant agreement with the County Department of Transportation (DOT). The TMD Advisory Committee advises BUP’s Board of Directors and DOT on local transportation needs.
 
Members serve three-year terms without compensation and meet every other month on the third Friday morning in downtown Bethesda. Applicants should send a brief resume detailing pertinent experience, interests and community activities to the Western Montgomery County Citizens Advisory Board, 4805 Edgemoor Lane, Bethesda, MD 20814.
 
For more information, contact Karen Thon at the Bethesda-Chevy Chase Regional Services Center at 240-777-8210, or email Karen.thon@montgomerycountymd.gov.
