Recognizing the continuing role the CBPAC has in implementing bicycle and pedestrian
policies and advising on related funding decisions, the CCTA has adopted a formal
structure, procedures and bylaws for the CBPAC (See Exhibit A). With the formalization of
the CBPAC, the CCTA is requesting that member agencies reappoint representatives or
appoint new staff representatives (See Exhibit B).
Citizen members are included in the CBPAC, those appointments are being made by the
Regional Transportation Planning Committees. The structure for the CBPAC is as follows
(from the CBPAC bylaws):
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
One citizen and one staff person plus one alternate appointed by each of the four
Regional Transportation Planning Committees
