OR Pedestrian and Bike Advisory Committee Seeking 2 New Panel Members

The Oregon Pedestrian and Bicycle Advisory Committee has two openings for people passionate about supporting active modes of travel.

The state committee is seeking a new at-large member as well as a new member who represents environmental interests. These positions will join the committee that advises ODOT on bicycle and pedestrian issues around Oregon.

All Oregon residents are eligible to apply. Appointments are non-binding and appointees may serve a maximum of two four-year terms. Appointees are eligible for a stipend and travel reimbursements for their service on the committee.

The Oregon Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (OPBAC) strives to have panel representation that reflects the diverse geography, demographics and abilities of everyone who walks, bikes or rolls in Oregon.

OBPAC envisions Oregon as a state in which people of all identities -- including age, income, race and ability -- can access destinations in urban and rural areas on comfortable, safe and well-connected active transportation infrastructure.

Application materials must be submitted by February 5th to be considered in the first review. The committee will invite selected candidates to participate in a question and answer session with panel members and staff prior to making a final recommendation to the Governor's Office. Finalists will be asked to complete a full board/commission application in Workday.

If you have questions about the committee, contact Roberto Coto at "roberto.coto@odot.oregon.gov."
