Tim Bustos, Sr. Executive Director
Tim has 28 years of experience in the field of bicycle transportation planning, design, and advocacy. For 12 of these years, he was the Bicycle and Pedestrian Coordinator for the City of Davis, California. Tim was instrumental in getting the City of Davis designated by the League of American Bicyclists as a “Bicycle Friendly Community” at the Platinum Level, the first city in the U.S. to receive the League’s highest designation. Prior to working in Davis, Tim was employed by the West Florida Regional Planning Council, which served as staff for the Pensacola, Fort Walton Beach, and Panama City Metropolitan Planning Organizations. While serving in this capacity, Tim worked under contract for the Florida Department of Transportation as the Regional Bicycle and Pedestrian Coordinator for seven counties in Northwest Florida. He provided local assistance and training to local government staff, many of whom were unfamiliar with current trends in bicycle and pedestrian planning and engineering practices. Tim has also taught numerous courses on bicycle facilities design, and previously taught classes for UC Berkeley’s Institute of Transportation Studies, UC Davis Extension, and is a League Cycling Instructor for the League of American Bicyclists (LCI #560). Additionally, Tim has an extensive background in bicycle advocacy and legislative work, having previously served on the original board of directors for FBA in its first incarnation in the late 1980’s, and two terms on the board for the California Bicycle Coalition.
