Applications are Now Available for TransLink’s Access Transit Users’ and HandyDART Users’ Advisory Committees
Application Deadline: Wednesday, Sept. 9, 2026 at 11:59 p.m.
Please complete the online application form here.
The application form contains information about each committee in order to help you determine which committee your skills and experience are best suited to. Please be sure to select which committee you intend to apply for on your application, as applications for each committee are reviewed separately. You may apply for both committees; however, you will need to complete an application separately for each committee.
Please tailor your application to highlight experience that is relevant to the committee you are applying to.
Applicants to both of these committees must:
- Live within the TransLink service region (Metro Vancouver);
- Have the ability to receive and reply to email correspondence in a timely manner;
- Have access to technology which will allow them to review electronic agenda packages prior to meetings, and
- Attend a virtual new member orientation at the beginning of the year.
Meetings are primarily held virtually over Zoom, and TransLink will plan for one in-person meeting to be held at their head office in New Westminster. Committee members receive a $100 honorarium for each meeting attended.
