Clark County is seeking applicants to fill five positions on the nine-member Clark Communities Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee.

Volunteer service will be a four-year commitment. Residents living anywhere in Clark County can apply.

People with experience and expertise in advocating for biking, walking, transit, active transportation, mobility issues, public speaking or serving on boards and commissions are encouraged to apply.

Meetings typically are 6-8 p.m. on the fourth Tuesday of each month at the Center for Community Health, 1601 E. Fourth Plain Blvd.  Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are holding virtual meetings and will continue to conduct virtual meetings until further notice. Committee meetings and other community-involved activities may require an additional four to six hours per month.

The committee serves as an advisory group to the county council on matters relating to bicycle and pedestrian planning and funding as well as implementation of the county’s bicycle and pedestrian master plan. The group reviews future road construction and private development projects to ensure safety for people who travel on foot or by bicycle.

Applicants should submit a letter of interest to Michelle Pfenning, County Manager’s Office, P.O. Box 5000, Vancouver, WA 98666-5000. Applicants also may send information by fax to 564.397.6058 or email to michelle.pfenning@clark.wa.gov.

Application deadline is 5 p.m. Friday, Oct. 14, 2021.
