Funding & Grants

Congratulations to all recipients of Transformative Climate Communities (TCC) 

The planning for Cycle 4 of the Active Transportation Program continues. In our last E-News, we mentioned concerns we shared with our partners about the move of the ATP Public Health Question to a new section (Statement of Need).

The Bay Area Toll Authority voted to place a measure on the June ballot asking voters to approve toll hikes on all Bay Area bridges except the Golden Gate Bridge, over the next several years. The measure, RM3, requires a majority vote among voters in the all the 9 Bay Area counties and will seek a $1 toll increase in 2019, 2022, and in 2025. The Golden Gate Bridge is governed by an independent district that sets its own tolls.

The California Transportation Commission (CTC) has begun continued workshops for public feedback on guidelines and applications for Cycle 4 of the Active Transportation Program (ATP). As you may recall, for Cycle 4, CTC has proposed five separate applications for different types and sizes of projects. As of this week, seven workshops have been held: in Sacramento, Chico, Los Angeles, Oakland, Fresno, San Bernardino and, this past Tuesday, Monterey.

Last December, the San Francisco County Transportation Authority (SFCTA) board approved $2.8 million for the Safe Routes to School program, along with a process for restructuring the education and non-infrastructure components. This is great news for partners in the city/county, who had feared the program could be cut in light of comments from board members at prior meetings expressing concern about citywide coordination of the program. 

We have an opening in our Technical Assistance program for the Active Transportation Program (ATP).

APPLICATION DEADLINE: Friday December 15 at 5:00 p.m. PT
(accepted on a rolling basis until then)

If you are working in California to make streets safer or to increase access to schools and parks so that children and families in your community can have more opportunities for physical activity – we can help!

The California Transportation Commission (CTC) has begun public workshops for public feedback on guidelines and applications for Cycle 4 of the Active Transportation Program (ATP). As of this week, three have been held: in Sacramento, Chico and Los Angeles. Safe Routes Partnership staff participated in the Sacramento and Los Angeles workshops, and will also participate in Tuesday’s ATP Technical Advisory Committee webinar to review the draft applications.
