Bicycle, Greenways, Pedestrian Advisory Committee - BGPAC

 

The Bicycle, Greenways, Pedestrian Advisory Committee - BGPAC is responsible for advising and informing the MPO Board regarding bicycle and pedestrian issues in Palm Beach County.

Enactment of the 1984 Florida Bicycle Bill required all county and local municipal governments to give full consideration of the bicycle when planning and developing transportation. Florida became one of the nation's leaders in bicycle planning with the creation of a State Bicycle Office, Bicycle Coordinators in each FDOT District, and Bicycle/Pedestrian Coordinators in a number of counties, including Palm Beach. Here, a Bicycle/Pedestrian Advisory Committee was formed in 1987, to provide input to the MPO Board and staff on bicycling and pedestrian-related issues. This B/PAC now includes Greenways issues and has 16 members, meets monthly, and includes representatives from:

  • State Department of Environmental Protection (Air Quality)
  • County Department of Environmental Resource Management
  • Greenways/Trails/Blueways Representative
  • County School Board Planner
  • County Health Unit
