Register for Finding the Money: Additional Active Transportation Funding Programs Webinar
January 26, 2025, 9:30 – 11:00 AM PST
–
Communities across California rely heavily on state and federal grants to build vital active transportation projects and programs. While funding for these efforts is limited and the demand is high, the benefits of projects that receive funding speak for themselves. Investing in active transportation improves safety, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, enhances public health, reduces congestion, increases accessibility, and so much more!
During this webinar you will hear from representatives of three state programs that support active transportation: one focused on plans, one on education and encouragement, and one that supports infrastructure projects. Additionally, you will learn about a federal funding program, Safe Streets and Roads for All, which will release its last round of funding in 2025. The presentations will be followed by a Q&A session with the presenters.
