Pedestrian Advisory Committee
The Pedestrian Advisory Committee (PAC) advises the County Manager and the County Board on implementation of the pedestrian element of the Master Transportation Plan. The Committee takes up other matters important for realizing Arlington’s vision of a safe, efficient, and equitable transportation system for all.
The Committee’s volunteer members help keep the County focused on making Arlington a better place to walk, from the high-rise urban centers of Rosslyn, Ballston, and National Landing to the leafy residential areas of north, south and west Arlington.
Arlington County’s Pedestrian Advisory Committee (PAC) meets virtually, on the second Wednesday of every month, unless otherwise noted.
*** The next meeting will be held in December, with date and time to be determined. It will be a joint meeting with the Bicycle Advisory Committee, and will take place on the County's TEAMS platform. ***
