Caltrain Seeking 2 Santa Clara Co. Volunteers For Bike Committee

SANTA CLARA COUNTY, CA – Caltrain is currently accepting applications for its Bicycle Advisory Committee (BAC), an advisory body comprised of nine volunteers from the three counties -- including Santa Clara County -- served by the rail agency.

The BAC serves as the primary venue for the interests and perspectives of bicyclists to be integrated into the Caltrain planning process. This group brings new ideas for discussion and helps Caltrain guide its future investments.

San Francisco, San Mateo and Santa Clara counties are each represented on the BAC by a public agency staff member, a county bike advocacy organization member and a general public member.

Caltrain is seeking one member from the general public and one from a bike organization representing San Francisco County; a member of the general public and one from a public agency representing San Mateo County; and a member of a public agency and one from a bike organization representing Santa Clara County.

Applications for the open positions are due by Friday, December 2, 2016.

More information about the BAC and a link to the online application can be found at www.caltrain.com/bac. Interested residents can also call 650.508.6495 to get more information about applying for the advisory body.

The BAC meets one evening every other month at the Caltrain administrative offices at 1250 San Carlos Avenue in San Carlos. All meetings are open to the public.
