Project Volunteers:
Project Mission: Have Transportation Alternatives (T.A.) representation on every Brooklyn Community Board (CB) Transportation Committee 
PROJECT DETAILS
1) Make a list of CB's and solicit T.A. members to attend monthly meetings,
we can have as many T.A. members that want to attend the CB meetings
2) Have an 'official' T.A. representative in each CB by applying to Brooklyn
Boro President's office (I have the forms in PDF)
3) Be vocal in T/A's stated goals at the CB meetings.
INTRODUCTION
In order to effectively champion our goals we need T.A.'s involvement in the local Community Boards! Below is a summary of how Community Boards are formed and operate. At a minimum we need T.A. representation on the transportation committees of each Community Board as soon as possible. The meetings are once a month and dates differ in each Community Board. There are 18 Community Boards in Brooklyn. If we had 2 to 3 people willing to rotate attending the meetings that would be a great start!! Below is a synopsis of Community Boards structure and how they operate. I want to have someone from the Boro President's office attend a meeting after we get organized. If you have an interest in what I feel is one of the most important avenues to attain our goals then please contact me!!

HOW COMMUNITY BOARDS ARE FORMED AND OPERATE: from NYC.gov
The Community Boards play an important role in improving the quality of life for all citizens of Brooklyn, but many people don't know about them. I urge you to learn how you're Community Board can help you, and how you may be able to help your Community Board.
Membership
Community Boards are local representative bodies. There are 18 throughout Brooklyn. Each Board consists of up to 50 unsalaried members appointed by the Borough President, with half nominated by the City Council Members who represent the community district. Board members are selected by the Borough Presidents from among active, involved people of each community, with an effort made to assure that every neighborhood is represented. Board members must reside, work or have some other significant interest in the community.
Meetings
Boards meet once each month. At these meetings, members address items of concern to the community. Board meetings are open to the public, and a portion of each meeting is reserved for the Board to hear from members of the public. In addition, Boards regularly conduct public hearings-on the City's budget, on land use matters, and other major issues-to give the people of the community the opportunity to express their opinions.
