Cary

Cary doesn't yet have a local Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee, but they do currently have a Greenway Committee (which most closely parallels Durham's Open Space and Trails Commission). Cary also has representative on CAMPO's Bicycle and Pedestrian Stakeholders Group (see below).

Chapel Hill / Carrboro

Chapel Hill and Carrboro's Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Board meets on the fourth Tuesday of every month at 7pm in Chapel Hill's Town Hall.

Nick Lurie, a member of the Chapel Hill BPAB, presented the Chapel Hill Bicycle and Pedestrian Action Plan at our January meeting.

Raleigh

Wake County's Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (CAMPO) has a Bicycle and Pedestrian Stakeholders Group.

Michael Ownby is the Chair of the Bike and Ped Stakeholders Group, and Jake Petrosky is the staff liaison.

Research Triangle Park

While not a residential community, Research Triangle Park is a daily destination for nearly 40,000 employees.

SmartCommute@RTP, a subcommittee of the Research Triangle Foundation, "focuses on encouraging employees of the Park to commute to and from work using alternative means other than a single occupancy vehicle".

State of North Carolina

The North Carolina Department of Transportation has its own Bicycle and Pedestrian Division. On their website you can find several great bicycling maps, a downloadable pamphlet outlining bicycle related laws, and lots of other useful information.

The Bike/Ped Division also has a citizens advisory group: the North Carolina Bicycle Committee. Pete Schubert, a member of Durham's BPAC is also the Durham County (NCDOT Division 5) representative to the DOT's Bike Committee.
