ATTACHMENT A: Committee Descriptions and Staff Contacts The Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) provides advice and recommendations to the full C/CAG Board of Directors on matters relating to bicycle and pedestrian improvement projects. The BPAC advises the C/CAG Board on priority projects for funding through the Transportation Development Act Article 3 grant program and the One Bay Area Grant program. In the upcoming year alone, the Committee will participate in the selection of up to $30 Million of active transportation projects in the County.
Meetings are held bi-monthly on the fourth Thursday of the month at 7:00 p.m. Prior to the COVID-19 Crisis, the meetings were held in the San Mateo City Hall. During the COVID-19 Crisis, the meetings have been held over Zoom. The BPAC has approximately six meetings per year. No more than two BPAC members can reside in the same jurisdiction. There are four vacancies for elected officials on this committee. For more information about the Committee and Meeting agendas, contact Kaki Cheung at [email protected]; and/or see https://ccag.ca.gov/committees/bicycle-and-pedestrian-advisorv-committee/.
The Congestion Management and Environmental Quality Committee (CMEQ) provides advice and recommendations to the full C/CAG Board on all matters relating to transportation planning, congestion management, travel demand management, coordination of land use and transportation planning, mobile source air quality programs, energy resources and conservation, and other environmental issues facing the local jurisdictions in San Mateo County. The role of the CMEQ Committee also includes making recommendations to the C/CAG Board on the allocation of funding for specific projects and activities addressing these programmatic areas. The Committee meets on the last Monday of each month from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Prior to the COVID-19 Crisis, the meetings were held in the San Mateo City Hall.

The Resource Management and Climate Protection Committee (RMCP) seats seven elected officials and public representative seats for each of the following six specialties: energy, water, utility, nonprofit, business/chamber of commerce, and environmental organization, for a total of 13 seats. Originally called the Utilities Sustainability Task Force (USTF), it developed a San Mateo County Energy Strategy for the county, which was adopted by every city in San Mateo County in 2009. The RMCP Committee provides information and recommendations to CMEQ and the C/CAG Board on items related to resource conservation and climate action. The Committee also tracks the progress of two main C/CAG programs, the San Mateo County Energy Watch (SMCEW) and the Regionally Integrated Climate Action Planning Suite (RICAPS). The Committee also seeks to integrate equity into resource conservation and climate actions, including workforce development, access by constituents, and inclusion of input by community-based organizations. Most recently, in coordination with BAWSCA, the Committee is exploring actions to reduce demand on potable water supplies, such as One Water programs, and electrification and resilience of homes and communities through nano- or micro-grids, respectively. The RMCP Committee meets on the third Wednesday of the month (as needed) throughout the year at 3:00 p.m., in either San Mateo at 155 Bovet Rd., or Redwood City at County Center, or virtually by Zoom meetings due to COVID-19.
