The committee reviews proposed road construction and private development projects to ensure safe access for all cyclists and pedestrians, including those with disabilities.

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



The committee currently meets virtually from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on the fourth Tuesday of each month. 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 michelle.pfenning@clark.wa.gov.
