The Alexandria Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) charitable non-profit organization that promotes walking and biking, and infrastructure and policy changes that create a safe, accessible, and livable city for all.

Our Vision

The City of Alexandria has a safe and connected network of streets, trails, and related facilities that are filled with people walking and biking.

 Guiding Principles

• We believe that to create inclusive and safe active transportation, we must be honest, strategic, thoughtful, and respectful of all people in Alexandria.
• We believe in proven, fact-based solutions that enable all people to walk and bike safely.
• We believe that walking and biking are enjoyable, practical and healthy modes of transportation and recreation that result in a more livable community.
• We believe that to effect change city-wide, we must diversify our membership, and create opportunities for members to meaningfully engage in our work.
