Portland Bicycle &  Pedestrian Advisory Committee

PBPAC is an ad-hoc group of Portland area residents who work to make the city a better place to walk, bicycle, and wheelchair. 

We advocate and educate on bicycle, transit, and pedestrian issues, including handicap accessibility, with support from the city’s Healthy Portland office, and in collaboration with other offices and organizations including the Bicycle Coalition of Maine, Portland Trails, PACTS, the Department of Public Services and the Planning Department.

Members of the committee have varying reasons for involvement in the group, however, almost all use active transportation as their preferred (or only) way to get around the city. We believe improving conditions for non-vehicular modes of transportation is crucial in achieving the city and state’s climate goals, as well as making Portland a more equitable and enjoyable place to live.
