The committee may make recommendations to the Transportation Committee on active transportation projects and issues that have been referred to them by the Administration or Transportation Committee, including but not limited to:
- Yearly trail, sidewalk, and paving overlay construction program plans. Review of overlay plans will be focused on incorporation of active transportation facilities.

- Major sidewalk projects, trails and other projects where major changes to existing street cross sections are planned. The review will be at the preliminary stage and will include typical cross sections and preliminary horizontal and vertical alignments. Neither the Transportation Committee nor the Administration need to delay projects or wait for this advisory committee's recommendations.
- Changes, additions, or deletions to the Active Transportation Plan and the Sidewalk Master Plans.
- A member of the Active Transportation Advisory Committee may present reports and recommendations to the Transportation Committee as needed.
