| A Bicycle Advisory Committee (BAC) was created by the
MPO Governing Board for the Miami Urbanized
Area in 1984, as a subcommittee of the
CTAC.
In 1985, the BAC was made a separate committee. In the 1990’s,
the committee took on pedestrian issues as the Bicycle
Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC).
 Currently, the BPAC
consists of 17 (out of a possible 23) citizens to advise the
Governing Board on bicycle and
pedestrian-related issues within Miami-Dade County. Each
Governing Board voting member has one appointment to the BPAC.
The term for each appointee is at the discretion of the
appointing board member.
The purposes of the BPAC are to:
- Provide information to and assist the MPO staff with
development of an comprehensive bicycle transportation plan,
which will be appended to the Long-Range
Transportation Plan; and
- Advise the MPO Governing Board on
matters relating to bicycling and walking.
The main functions of the BPAC are to:
Become a volunteer member of the Bicycle Pedestrian Advisory
Committee by e-mailing

Specialist, or by calling him at 305.375.1647. |
