Surrey Needs You!

Surrey's booming growth means the HUB Surrey/White Rock Committee needs more support and volunteers. We can't do our advocacy work towards ensuring safe, accessible streets for vulnerable road users alone. We need your help!

The City of Surrey is always planning new projects for new bike lanes and multi-use pathways as part of its Cycling Plan. Click here to download a PDF version of the City of Surrey's Cycling Plan.

HUB Cycling views the diversity of our members and communities as assets and strive to create and sustain a diverse and culturally competent organization that reflects the populations we serve.

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.
