19 <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />Heidi Perry <br />I have 2 main reasons: I think Orange County is losing out on a lot of bicycle tourism dollars, and <br />would like to see that explored. Oregon brings in over $400 million in bicycle tourism dollars, and <br />the only thing they really have that we don t have is buy -in on both regional and state levels. I <br />have ridden the Orange County rural roads for over 30 years, and am amazed at how purely <br />beautiful they remain. My other reason is to share what I have learned from biking around this <br />country and Canada to make cycling safer for all, and to provide more education. <br />Conflict of Interest: <br />Supplemental Questions: <br />Work Experience: Design and publication of books /technical drawing of charts and maps <br />has been my profession for the last 20+ years. I am the head of the design and <br />production department at UNC Press, a nationally known and respected book publisher. <br />Volunteer Experience: I have served on the Carrboro Transportation Advisory Board for a <br />total of 20 years since 1985. 1 have also served on the Chapel Hill Bike Pedestrian Board, <br />and the Carrboro Bicycle Coalition. I have served on the Library Services Taskforce and 2 <br />of the previous Horace Williams Tract task forces (now called Chapel Hill North). Last <br />year I received an award from the NC Planners Assoc. (the Marvin Collins award) for my <br />volunteer work in this area. I have attended most of the Transit Partners meetings over <br />the last two years. I have also served on the Smith Level Road Task Force, and have <br />assisted with several bus, bike, and pedestrian activities. I think all of this would be an <br />asset on this board. <br />Education: BFA 77 UNC with a concentration in Set Design and technical Theatre, <br />Architural Drafting degree from Durham Tech, several classes taken over the ears in <br />subjects renging from sign language to Portugese to computer software (Photoshop, <br />Illustrator, Acrobat, InDesign, and Dreamweaver) <br />Other Comments: <br />I served on this board and also on the Carrboro Library Task Force in their previous <br />gatherings. I have been interested in transportation and how people move themselves <br />around since I read Ivan Illich's Energy and Equity in the '70's.
