State bike/ped advisory committee needs at-large and environment members

January 2, 2024

Hello, friends of active transportation in Oregon,

The Oregon Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee has two openings for people passionate about supporting active modes of travel. The committee is seeking a new at-large member as well as a new member that represents environmental interests. These positions will join the committee that advises ODOT on bicycle and pedestrian issues across the state.

All Oregon residents are eligible to apply. Appointments are non-binding, and appointees may serve a maximum of two 4-year terms. Appointees are eligible for a stipend and travel reimbursements for their service on the committee.

The committee welcomes members of historically underrepresented racial/ethnic groups, women, individuals with disabilities, LGBTQIA2S+ community members, and others to apply. The Oregon Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee strives to have committee 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.

TO APPLY

Complete the Advisory Committee Interest Form. This form is also linked to our website.

Materials must be submitted by February 5 to be considered in the first review. OBPAC will invite selected candidates to participate in a Q & A session with committee 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.

Please forward this announcement to your friends, family and colleagues!
