Would you or someone you know like to be on the Alameda County Transportation Improvement Authority’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC)? The BPAC, which meets six to eight times per year, advises ACTIA on the development and implementation of countywide bicycle and pedestrian programs and plans. Beginning this fall, the BPAC will start reviewing and providing input on the updates to the Countywide Strategic Pedestrian Plan and the Countywide Bicycle Plan. One of the most cherished responsibilities of the BPAC is advising the ACTIA Board on the allocation of Measure B bicycle/pedestrian grant funds. To date 41 projects, totaling $9.5 million, have been funded.
More information, including who is eligible and how to apply, is included in the attachment. Currently the BPAC has two vacancies covering parts of eastern and southern Alameda County. Appointments are made by ACTIA Board members. The two current vacancies are for: Supervisory Haggerty (representing Livermore, Pleasanton, Sunol and parts of Fremont) and Mayor Kamena (Livermore). While the appointee must be an Alameda County resident, s/he does not necessarily need to live in the area represented by the appointer – the appointer may be open to someone who works in their area, or who would represent the appointer well.
More information about the BPAC, including its bylaws, can be found on the ACTIA website. www.actia2022.com
Thanks for your interest and for helping to spread the word!
