Motorcyclist Advisory Council

Visian

look out!!!
From the AMA...

I think there are people here that would be qualified to do this.


Washington, D.C. — The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Department of Transportation has announced the establishment of the Motorcyclist Advisory Council for a two-year period. The MAC will coordinate with and advise the Secretary of Transportation, the NHTSA administrator and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) administrator on transportation issues of concern to motorcyclists, including motorcycle and motorcyclist safety; barrier, road design, construction, and maintenance practices; and the architecture and implementation of intelligent transportation system technologies. NHTSA is also soliciting nominations for appointment to the MAC.

Consistent with the statute, the MAC shall be comprised of 13 members appointed by the Secretary of Transportation for a single term of up to two years. The MAC seeks to have a balanced membership with expertise in motorcycle and motorcyclist safety, highway engineering, and safety analysis.

MAC members will not receive pay or other compensation from NHTSA for their MAC service, but are entitled to reimbursement for their travel expenses, including per diem. The MAC shall meet approximately twice a Federal fiscal year. Members appointed solely for their expertise will serve as special Government employees and relevant ethics laws will apply. Members will be selected based on their expertise, training, experience and ability to represent one of the identified groups. Individuals interested in serving on the MAC are invited to apply for appointment by submitting a resume or curriculum vitae. Individuals also may submit letters of recommendation that highlight their qualifications as to expertise, training, experience or ability to represent one of the identified groups.

To apply (use only overnight mail) send your application to: U.S. Department of Transportation, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Office of Safety Programs, Room W44–308, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE, Washington, DC, 20590 or emailed to MotorcyclistAdvisoryCouncil@dot.gov.

For additional information, contact John W. Marshall, Director, Office of Safety Programs, Office of Research and Program Development, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, U.S. Department of Transportation, john.marshall@dot.gov or (202) 366–3803.
 
Anything ever happen with this??? IMHO it sounds like a follow up to the Catsup Advisory Board that was a fictitious sponsor on the "A Prairie Home Companion" radio program on NPR
 
Visian is currently on sabbatical, hopefully to return soon. Perhaps with more information.
