The San Mateo County Transit District Board of Directors is seeking applicants to fill two public member seats. The successful candidates will be responsible for setting policy for the district, which operates SamTrans bus, paratransit, and micro transit services; oversees shuttle and other contract-operated supplemental transit services; and generally, serves as the mobility manager in San Mateo County.
Applicants must be residents of San Mateo County outside of the coastal region and must not have held elective office within the past year. Incumbent board members may re-apply. Applications are available online or by calling 650‑551‑6108. Deadline for receipt of applications is Friday, Nov. 1, 2024, 5 p.m. Each appointment has a four-year term.
The board consists of nine members: three members appointed by the Board of Supervisors, three members who are appointed by the City Selection Committee, who are council members representing the northern, central, and southern portions of the county; and three public members, one of whom is a coastside resident. Regular meetings are scheduled for the first Wednesday of each month at 2 p.m.
