Two bus operators will also serve as members of the advisory group. The term of membership on the group is two years. Meetings are held quarterly at the Executive Office Building in Rockville.

Applicants should apply in writing, by February 26, to: Carolyn Biggins, Chief, Division of Transit Services, 110 North Washington Street, Suite 200, Rockville, Maryland 20850.
