Non-Motorized Advisory Committee

The Non-Motorized Advisory Committee (NMAC) is a subcommittee of SCOG’s Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), which is made of public works and planning staffs from SCOG member jurisdictions.

The NMAC’s mission supports an integrated, effective, and affordable transportation system for Skagit County, emphasizing the system’s non-motorized components like walking, biking, and wheelchair access. Direct advice on non-motorized transportation planning is provided to the TAC as needed.

Active Communities

The NMAC encourages bicycling and walking to conduct the daily routines of life. The benefits of an active community include:

  • Good health
  • More Livable Communities
  • Economic Development
  • Reduced pollution and global warming emissions
  • Greater flexibility in the face of fluctuating gas prices
  • Reduced congestion
  • Reduced public and private expenses
