BACKGROUND
Appropriation law instituted the State Bicycle Advisory Committee in the mid 1980's to advise the Commissioner of Transportation and other state officials on issues pertaining to bicycle transportation in Minnesota. Over the ensuing years, it has operated under its own bylaws and with registration by the Secretary of State. In 2008, the committee was put into statute and asked to advise on nonmotorized transportation modes. The committee then became the State Nonmotorized Transportation Committee (SNTC). The committee currently has 15 citizen members and 12 agency members and conducts 5 meetings per year. The executive committee and various short-term issue committees work on specific priority projects. The SNTC and Mn/DOT bike staff work to coordinate work plans and objectives.

Pedestrian Issues
