TxDOT is currently seeking candidates for the state’s Bicycle Advisory Committee (BAC).  TxDOT’s BAC is made up of Texas bicycling community representatives, not affiliated with TxDOT, who are interested in advancing the consideration of bicycling and walking as part of transportation planning and development within Texas.  

TxDOT and the Texas Transportation Commission strive for a committee that is geographically balanced, professionally diverse, and representative of the growing and diverse Texas population.  To identify a broader pool of candidates, we are reaching out to professional organizations with connections to the many facets of active transportation, including engineering, planning, research, and bicycle-related industry.  Members accept the position knowing that this is not a paid position and that they will be asked to travel, at their own expense, to meet in Austin quarterly. (Note:  As conditions warrant, meetings may be held virtually.)

All candidates submitting their resume with a completed questionnaire will be considered.  The 2020 deadline for candidate BAC submissions to TxDOT is May 26, 2020.
