Applications now open!

The Maryland Transit Administration (MTA) is now accepting applications for the 2026–2027 Youth Transit Council (YTC). The YTC is an advisory group that offers young people in the Baltimore area the opportunity to learn how MTA operates, offer suggestions to improve transit service, and explore career options in the public transportation industry. Members gain real-world skills, connect directly with MTA staff, and ensure that youth perspectives are heard and respected in shaping a more connected and equitable transit system.

The Council has youth members selected to represent the region’s age groups, geographies, demographics and schools. Eligible applicants must be 14–18 years old at the time of application, reside within the MTA service area (served by Local Bus, Light RailLink, or Metro SubwayLink), and must be able to attend a two-hour Youth Transit Council meeting on a Saturday morning each month during the school year.

YTC members benefit from career exploration opportunities, leadership experience, and collaboration with peers from across the region. Additional incentives include monthly participation recognition, small gifts, and eligibility for a personalized letter of recommendation.

Applications are open now through September 16, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. Prospective members are invited to apply via the online application. For more information, visit the MTA Youth Transit Council webpage or contact ytc@mta.maryland.gov.
