Committees and Partner Organizations
The City of Jacksonville collaborates with a range of advisory groups, partner organizations, and public agencies to advance bicycle and pedestrian safety, connectivity, and access. These partnerships support implementation of the City’s transportation planning initiatives and Vision Zero efforts, including nationally recognized design guidance developed through participation with the National Association of City Transportation Officials.
Former Advisory Committees
Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC)
The Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) was a community-based group that provided a forum for discussion and advocacy related to bicycle and pedestrian issues in Jacksonville.
BPAC was recognized by the City through a commendatory resolution, but was not established as an official City board or commission. As such, its activities were supported administratively rather than legislatively.
The committee is no longer active. The City has transitioned to a new engagement approach that better aligns with current planning efforts and coordination with community partners.
BPAC Meeting Archives
Archives of past Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) meetings, including presentations and supporting materials, are available for the following years:
- 2000–2008
- 2011–2014
- 2022–2025
Due to the volume and format of these historical materials, not all documents are currently available in accessible formats.
Members of the public may request specific materials by emailing: JPDTransportation@coj.net
Please include as much detail as possible when requesting materials (e.g., meeting date or topic). Staff will make reasonable efforts to provide materials in an accessible format upon request.
Context Sensitive Streets Standards Committee (CSSSC)
The Context Sensitive Streets Standards Committee (CSSSC) previously provided input on street design standards and context-sensitive approaches to transportation planning and development.
The committee is no longer active. Elements of its work have been incorporated into ongoing planning processes, including coordination through the City’s Subdivision Standards and Policy Advisory Committee.
Current Interagency Coordination
Bicycle Pedestrian Planning Group (BPPG)
The Bicycle Pedestrian Planning Group (BPPG) is a regional, interagency coordination group hosted by the North Florida Transportation Planning Organization.
The BPPG brings together staff from local governments, regional agencies, and partner organizations to:
- Share best practices
- Coordinate on bicycle and pedestrian projects and programs
- Discuss funding opportunities and implementation strategies
The group is a technical working group and is not a public advisory committee.
More information is available on the North Florida TPO Bicycle and Pedestrian Program page.
Community and Regional Partners
The City continues to work closely with local, regional, and statewide partners to support active transportation initiatives, including:
The North Florida Transportation Planning Organization (North Florida TPO)
The regional transportation planning agency serving Duval, Clay, Nassau, and St. Johns counties. The North Florida TPO leads long-range planning and funding decisions for transportation projects, including bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure. Their Bicycle and Pedestrian Program supports regional trail development, safety initiatives, and multimodal connectivity across jurisdictional boundaries.
More information is available on the North Florida TPO Bicycle and Pedestrian Planning web page.
Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) – District 2
FDOT District 2 is responsible for the planning, design, construction, and maintenance of state roadways in Northeast Florida, including many major corridors in Jacksonville. The District works closely with the City and regional partners to implement safety improvements, coordinate traffic operations, and advance bicycle and pedestrian projects on state-owned facilities—particularly along high-injury corridors.
