Clark County is seeking applicants to fill one open position on the nine-member Clark Communities Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee.

The volunteer appointed to this position will fill an existing term that is scheduled to end on Dec. 31, 2025.

The committee advises the county and participating city and state government staff on matters relating to bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure planning and implementation of the county’s bicycle and pedestrian master plan, a news release by the county stated. The committee also reviews proposed road construction and private development projects to identify ways to ensure safe access for all pedestrians, including those with disabilities, and cyclists.



Applicants must be residents of Clark County, the release adds. People with experience bicycling, walking, traveling by public transit or other modes of active transportation are encouraged to apply.

The committee meets from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on the fourth Tuesday of each month, with meetings currently held in a hybrid format with both in-person and virtual participation options. In addition to regular meetings, subcommittees may meet as work groups and could require spending additional time outside of the regular meeting times.

To apply, interested residents should submit a letter of interest to Michelle Pfenning, County Manager’s Office, P.O. Box 5000, Vancouver, WA 98666-5000, or to michelle.pfenning@clark.wa.gov. Applications must be submitted by 5 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 22, 2024.
