Changes to Our Name and Mission Statement

The "Trails" committee has a new name! In order to reflect a need in Jericho for additional support of bicycle and pedestrian policies outlined in the Town Plan the committee's name was changed to the Jericho Bicycle and Pedestrian Connectivity Committee (approved by the Selectboard on February 1, 2024). The committee will continue its previous focus working on maintaining and promoting the trails throughout Jericho and will add bike and pedestrian safety and connectivity to its purview.

Below is the proposed update to the Mission Statement (approved by the committee members on 2/12/2024). This mission statement will be brought before the Selectboard for final approval sometime in March 2024.

The Jericho Bicycle and Pedestrian Connectivity Committee (JBPCC) serves as an advisory committee to The Town of Jericho. JBPCC will maintain and create public trails and pathways, facilitate public outreach, education, and encourage non-motorized travel and recreation. JBPCC will advocate that these priorities be factored into development applications, town planning, policy, street design, and budgets. The committee works to support Jericho’s vision to expand residents’ alternatives to motorized transportation, ensuring that people with all abilities can travel and recreate safely through connected communities.
