What do Local Committees do?

HUB Local Committees are at the heart of HUB's advocacy efforts. Made up of people who live, work, bike, walk, and vote in their communities, committee members bring valuable lived experience to the table. They're in the best position to speak up and push for safety improvements where they matter most. Here are some of the things our committees do:

  • Writing letters to decision-makers
  • Providing feedback on future transportation projects
  • Meeting with politicians, planners, and engineers
  • Organizing rides to assess cycling conditions
  • Hosting community events and building local alliances   
  • Local Committees are the backbone of HUB Cycling’s advocacy, and the work they do has already led to major improvements across the region.

Visit the Committee Wiki pages to see examples of past letters sent to decision makers, committee assessment bike ride infrastructure reports and past meeting minutes.

2025 Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows Committee Objectives

Objective One:

Maple Ridge: Continue to works towards creating a bike friendly Maple Ridge downtown core and the routes leading to it. Pitt Meadows: Continue to work with the city to implement the Active Transportation plan with specific emphasis on the Harris Road complete streets project.

Benefits:

Maple Ridge: Maple Ridge downtown has the highest concentration of residents and businesses in the area. A bike friendly downtown and routes leading to the downtown will allow more residents to ride to town than to drive.
Pitt Meadows: There is great opportunity for Pitt Meadows to make the main street of the town into a multi-modal transportation route which will greatly increase the ability of people to cycle rather than drive.

Objective Two: Engage and work with with Mayor, Council and City staff on All Ages and Abilities (AAA) cycling infrastructure in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows and how it can be achieved.

Benefits: Save active transportation infrastructure solutions do not always have to be so costly and better AAA infrastructure can be built by making small changes to the roads we presently have.

Objective Three: Engage and activate the public to increase the voices to the Mayor, Council and City Staff about what is needed in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows to increase the rate of cycling.

Benefits: Demonstrating the growing demand for safe active travel across the municipalities will demonstrate to Mayor, Council and staff that there a need for more active transportation infrastructure investment.
