Help BPAC
BPAC needs your help to promote more biking and walking in Durham. Funding for new sidewalks, bikeways, greenways and safe intersections is becoming more difficult to secure, and without your voice and support, better non-vehicular infrastructure will never materialize.
We also need your help to shape development & law enforcement policy so that it will be more favorable to biking and walking.
Here are ways that you can help us:
- Bike and Walk Durham.
If you have a
map,
pinpoint the location of your home or workplace, and see what lies within one mile. Try walking or biking to stores, restaurants or parks within that area. The more pedestrians and bikers there are, the easier it is to make a case for better infrastructure and policies. We'd also like to hear from you what you like or dislike about your trip.
- Join the listserv.
The Durham Bike & Ped Advocacy Listserve is a great way to learn about upcoming events, action alerts, and to join in the discussion on how to improve the walking/biking experience in Durham.
- Read and Promote the Plans.
Familiarize yourself with the
adopted plans for sidewalks, bicycling and trails. Remind our local and state leaders to implement these plans.
- Join a BPAC committee.
BPAC now has four standing committees that focus on key areas:
You don't have to be a BPAC board member to join.
- Attend a monthly BPAC Board meeting.
The public is always welcome to our monthly meetings. (7pm, 3rd Tuesday of each month, City Hall Committee Room) We always have time at the top of the agenda to hear about pedestrian and bike concerns. If you like what you see, apply to become a BPAC board member.
- Join BPAC.
