Established by the Board of Supervisors on August 4, 1992, the purpose of the Countywide Bicycle Advisory Committee is to provide input to the County and the cities of the County on bicycle projects for Transportation Development Act (TDA) funds to construct bicycle/pedestrian projects and also provide advice to cities and the County on bicycle planning matters.

The Countywide Bicycle Advisory Committee is compromised of sixteen members:

•One representative from each of the five Supervisorial districts
•One representative from eight bicycle organizations that use the roads in Contra Costa County
•One representative each from the Mayors' Conference, the East Bay Regional Park District, and the bicycle industry.

The California Highway Patrol and Superintendent of Schools serve as resources only. The qualifications for membership on the committee are to live or work in the County. Each representative should designate an alternate who must also live or work in the County.

The District III seat was vacated on July 12, 2011. Applications were accepted and the recommendation to appoint the above individual was then determined.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The seat will remain vacant.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
