The Rustic Roads Advisory Committee consists of seven voting members who must all be Montgomery County residents. Members serve three-year terms without compensation. The committee meets at least six times a year. Its duties include promoting public awareness of the Rustic Roads Program, reviewing and commenting on the classification of rustic roads, and reviewing and commenting on Executive regulations and policies that may affect the program.

Interested residents should write by November 30 to County Executive Douglas M. Duncan at the Executive Office Building, 101 Monroe Street, Rockville MD 20850. A brief resume, including home and work phone numbers, should be enclosed. Members of County boards, committees and commissions may not serve on more than one such group at a time.

Duncan’s appointments are subject to confirmation by the County Council. Applications of those selected for appointment are made public as part of the confirmation process.
