AWC seeks one city elected official from a city/town who serves on the board of a public transit system to serve on the Transportation Improvement Board.
About the Transportation Improvement Board (TIB)
The primary purpose of the TIB is to administer grant funding for local government transportation projects. The TIB is a state agency directed by a 21-member board made up of city, county, state, port, and transit officials. Most of the annual grant funding goes to cities and towns. Three city elected officials and three city staff serve on the board. No more than one city member can serve from any one city. Cities currently represented on TIB are Granger, Kenmore, Kirkland, Twisp, and Walla Walla. Of the three elected officials, both eastern and western Washington must be represented.

Time commitment, travel expenses
The TIB meets five times a year, typically on the third Thursday and third Friday of the month. Meetings are held in-person throughout the state. Members are appointed to four-year terms. Expenses of the board are paid in accordance with RCW 47.26.140. AWC does not cover any expenses.
Application process
Those interested in serving must complete the AWC interest form including your qualifications and an attached resume. The AWC Board of Directors will submit two nominations for the position. The final appointment is made by the Secretary of Transportation.
