The Bozeman Area Bicycle Advisory Board (BABAB) was created by the City Commission in September 1990 (Resolution No. 2817). Its purpose is to recommend safe bicycle practices
throughout Bozeman in regard to enhanced bicycle circulation and design, community-wide bicycle
education and safety programs, and other matters relating to bicycling in the Bozeman area.

by the city commission. One member shall be a student of Montana State University. One member representing the county may be recommended by the county commission and appointed by the city
commission. One additional non-voting liaison shall be a student of Bozeman High School. Members of this board shall serve two-year staggered terms. Each member may be reappointed without any limitation on the
number of reappointments. Vacancies shall be filled in the same manner as original appointments for the balance of the term remaining.
B. With the exception of the non-voting high school liaison, only persons of legal age may be appointed to the board. High school representatives under age 18 must provide a signed consent from a legal guardian stating
they may participate in board activities. A majority of the board shall be residents of the city.
