Cherriots is looking for people to serve on its budget committee.
The transit service is seeking two Salem or Keizer residents to fill openings in subdistrict two, which is primarily Keizer, and subdistrict four, which is primarily northeast Salem.
Applicants must be registered voters and live within the urban growth boundary area of Salem and Keizer.
The budget committee consists of the agency’s seven-member Board of Directors and seven appointed volunteers, who serve three-year terms.
“Budget Committee members help ensure the responsible stewardship of public funds and the ability of Cherriots to provide services now and in the future by maintaining a balanced budget,” Cherriots wrote.
“With the addition of weekend and holiday service, the distinction of being the cleanest public transit fleet in the state because we use renewable natural gas, and the electrification of our fleet on the horizon, now is an exciting time to be a part of Cherriots.”
