Preparing for the Active Transportation Program Call for Projects - ATARC Webinar

Originally presented: Feb 12, 2014

The California Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Technical Assistance Resource Center (ATARC), a program of California Active Communities within the Safe and Active Communities Branch, hosted a webinar on Wednesday, February 12, 2014, from 1:30 to 3:00 p.m., to assist local public health departments and other organizations to prepare for the Active Transportation Program (ATP) Call for Projects expected to be released at the end of March 2014. The ATP was enacted in September 2013 via Senate Bill 99 and is a new program to fund walking and bicycling infrastructure and non-infrastructure projects throughout California. The webinar included an overview of the draft ATP Guidelines; a review of past SRTS application questions, scoring, tips, and tools; how to conduct student walk/bicycle tallies and survey parents for baseline data; how to access data from the University of California, Berkeley Safe Transportation Research and Education Center’s (SafeTREC) SRTS Pedestrian and Bicycle Collision Maps, and a review of the National Center for Safe Routes to School document “A Comparative Analysis of SRTS Program Elements and Travel Mode Outcomes” that outlines four key factors for successful SRTS non-infrastructure programs. Webinar presenters included ATARC staff as well as Jeanie Ward-Waller from the SRTS National Partnership, Erika Rincon Whitcomb from PolicyLink, and Swati Pande from SafeTREC.
