Caltrain Seeks Six Representatives for Bicycle & Active Transportation Advisory Committee

Caltrain is seeking six Caltrain riders to apply for its Bicycle & Active Transportation Advisory Committee (BATAC), which serves as the primary venue to advocate for the interests and perspectives of customers who use active transportation—bicycles, scooters, walking, etc.—to access the Caltrain system.

The openings are for a member of the public and a representative of a bicycle advocacy group from San Francisco County, a member of the public and a public agency staff member from San Mateo County, and a representative of a bicycle advocacy group and a public agency staff member from Santa Clara County.

The committee is comprised of nine volunteer members from San Francisco, San Mateo and Santa Clara counties. One member from each county is a public agency staff member responsible for planning and/or policy development related to active transportation, one is a member of a bicycle advocacy organization, and one is a member from the general public who uses active transportation to access Caltrain. 

Applications are due by Monday, Dec. 2, and are available at www.caltrain.com/batac or by calling 650.730.4981.

The BATAC meets in-person every other month at 5:45 p.m. All meetings are open to the public.
