We do this by raising awareness of bike-related issues to city, county, and other public officials, as well as the general public. Examples of Advocacy Committee tasks include participating in BPAC meetings, pushing for funding for bike-related infrastructure in the city budget, and tracking progress with infrastructure planning and construction.
