Caltrain Seeking Volunteers to Join Bicycle Advisory Committee
Caltrain is currently accepting applications for its Bicycle Advisory Committee (BAC), an advisory body comprised of nine volunteers from the three counties served by the rail agency. The BAC serves as the primary venue for the interests and perspectives of bicyclists to be integrated into the Caltrain planning process. This group brings new ideas for discussion and helps Caltrain guide its future investments.If you bring your bike on Caltrain, this is a great venue to get your input heard regarding on board bike space, bike parking, and other issues. The BAC will also contribute to the design of the new electric vehicles and the bike parking management plan.San Francisco, San Mateo and Santa Clara counties are each represented on the BAC by a public agency staff member, a county bike advocacy organization member, and a general public member. The open seats in our area:
- San Mateo County: one member of the general public and one from a public agency
- Santa Clara County: one member from a bike organization and one from a public agency
Applications for the open positions are due by Friday, December 2, 2016. More information about the BAC and a link to the online application can be found at www.caltrain.com/bac. Interested residents can also call 650.508.6495 to get more information about applying for the advisory body. If you are interested in being the SCC member from a bike org (SVBC), please contact advocacy@bikesiliconvalley.org. People applying for the public SMC seat can also contact us to discuss priorities.The BAC meets one evening every other month at the Caltrain administrative offices at 1250 San Carlos Avenue in San Carlos. All meetings are open to the public.
