Alachua County is seeking volunteers to fill two upcoming Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Board vacancies. Those interested should submit applications by August 1, 2023.
The Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Board (BPAB) makes recommendations to the Alachua County Commission, the Gainesville City Commission, and the Metropolitan Transportation Planning Organization (MTPO) on all matters concerning planning, implementation, and maintenance of policies, programs, and facilities for the safe and efficient integration of bicycle and pedestrian transportation into the Gainesville Metropolitan Area and Alachua County transportation systems. The BPAB consists of citizen volunteers with a special interest and expertise in bicycle and pedestrian issues. The City Commission, County Commission, and MTPO each appoint four members. In addition, one student seat is appointed. The County Commission currently needs to appoint citizens for two citizen at large vacancies.
If you are looking for a volunteer opportunity that allows you to give back to your community and participate in your County's decision-making process, serving on an Alachua County Advisory Board offers you this chance. The County Commission relies on input from these Boards to make informed decisions and set policies.
