The Bicycle Advisory Council (BAC) advises the City of Austin on planning, policy, design, funding, education and enforcement efforts regarding the creation, maintenance and operation of bicycle facilities. The BAC is composed of 9 full (voting) members and 10 alternate (non-voting) members. Their monthly meeting agendas typically consist of briefings, discussion/approval of recommendations to local agencies, and community announcements. The BAC meets in person at City Hall - 301 W. 2nd Street in downtown Austin - as well as virtually via WebEx. Please visit the BAC’s website to view their bylaws, past meeting materials, etc: austintexas.gov/department/bicycle-advisory-council.

Applicants are encouraged to attend either the August 20th meeting or the September 17th meeting of the BAC to learn more about the group and issues they address.
