Tacoma Seeks a Student Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisor

The City of Tacoma Transportation Commission is looking for a resident student to help the City as it keeps moving on bicycle and pedestrian matters.　 

The Bicycle and Pedestrian Technical Advisory Group (BPTAG) advises the newly created Transportation Commission on active transportation issues, such as bicycle and pedestrian planning, transportation regulation compliance, project prioritization, and implementing the City’s Mobility Master Plan, including wayfinding, project design, connectivity and citizen encouragement. The City Manager has appointed 10 BPTAG City residents with a range of perspectives and expertise, yet to more fully represent the community the group still seeks a youth representative.

Students living in Tacoma between the ages of 16 and 18 and have knowledge or first-hand experience about pedestrian, bicycle, health, parks and American with Disabilities Act issues are particularly encouraged to apply. The chosen volunteer should expect to attend meetings from 5 to 7 p.m. the third Monday of each month at the Tacoma Municipal Building, 747 Market St., Tacoma, WA 98402. The volunteer position is a one-year commitment.

Please apply online by Friday, Nov. 1, 2013. To apply by mail, in-person or ask question, call (253) 591-5788.
