BPAC

Bicycle & Pedestrian Advisory
Committee (BPAC)

The BPAC's mission is to make Hillsborough County a safer and more pleasurable place to bicycle and walk. The committee makes recommendations to the MPO on bicycle and pedestrian-related issues. The BPAC was originally established in 1977 by the Board of County Commissioners as the Bicycle Advisory Committee (BAC). This group became an advisory committee to the MPO in March 1998. Later that same year, the committee's focus was expanded to address the needs and concerns of pedestrians, as well as cyclists. Twenty volunteers comprise the BPAC. Twelve of the seats are held by at-large members (citizens) who are appointed by the MPO. The remaining eight seats are held by representatives of local agencies, cities and county. There are three subcommittees of the BPAC, which work together to carry out the BPAC’s mission. Volunteers are encouraged to participate in any of these groups:

  • Safety Improvement/Education & Enforcement
  • On/Off Road
  • Public Awareness
BPAC meets the second Wednesday of each month at 5:30 p.m. at County Center, 601 E. Kennedy Boulevard, 18th floor
