The Committee is organized to work to improve bicycling and pedestrian conditions in the City of Framingham. It will strive to create a comprehensive view of bicycle and pedestrian-related activities in the city. Hence, the Committee will make it possible for all city groups and departments to coordinate activities that involve or affect cycling and walking in Framingham.

The Mayor still has one more appointment to the Committee.

Membership on the 7-person Committee includes: 

1. One member selected by the Disability Commission (three years);
2. One member selected by the Parks and Recreation Commission (two years);
3. One member selected by the Youth Council (one year) and; 
4. Four members appointed by the Mayor (1-three years, 2- two years, and 1- one year).

It is unclear if the Parks & Recreation Commission, the Disability Commission, and the 13-member Youth Council has selected a Committee member
