L.A. Metro is asking people who regularly use the public transit service to apply to be on its Public Safety Advisory Committee (PSAC).
The committee will focus on safeguarding the transit community by “taking a holistic, equitable and welcoming approach to public safety, in recognition that each individual is entitled to a safe, dignified and human experience,” the transit agency stated.
PSAC meetings are expected to take place monthly over the course of a two-year term, with additional subcommittee meetings possible.
The agency said PSAC is comprised of members not only able to contribute with relevant riding experience but also as “experts in racial justice, equitable transit, public safety reform, law enforcement, victims’ rights, mental health, homelessness and social services.”
Applications can be found online and need to be submitted by September 6.
