SALEM, Ore. — September 17, 2025 — Cherriots is inviting Salem-Keizer residents to apply for its Community Advisory Committee (CAC), a key group that helps shape the future of public transit in the region.
The CAC offers feedback and recommendations to the Cherriots Board of Directors, ensuring decisions reflect the needs of riders, non-riders, and stakeholders across the community.
“Community feedback is critical to building a transit system that works for everyone,” said Board Member Sara Duncan. “We’re looking for passionate, engaged community members who want to help make public transportation more accessible, equitable, and sustainable.”
Applicants must live or work within the Salem Urban Growth Boundary, commit to a two-year appointment, attend quarterly meetings (with possible monthly sessions), and actively review materials and participate in discussions.
Applications can be submitted online at cherriots.org/cac. Paper copies are also available by calling 503-588-2424.
