King County Metro Seeking People to serve on new ACCESS Paratransit Advisory Committee

RantWoman apologizes: RantWoman posted the item below before she herself had tried to step through the application process. a couple tips

The form is NOT accessible, not in Chrome with JAWS, not on one person's smartphone and the same navigation errors in both environments and other errors besides.

The form has a couple why do you want to serve and why do you think you would be good questions that are worth some thought.

The form asks for contact info for 3 references. RantWoman did not have that handy and will revisit.

So much as RantWoman wants to invite interested blind people from around the county to check out this opportunity, it is time for Strategy instead of Technology:: Use Alternative Methods. There is a phone number. Use it. The link for the application form may come down or be replaced. If so RantWoman will repost.
