California Investing $100M to Build Safe Walking And Biking Routes
The California Transportation Commission awarded $101.2 million to projects across the state to improve walking and biking safety.
The 13 projects awarded are intended to contribute to healthier communities, connect neighborhoods, and improve quality of life by building comfortable bikeways, improved sidewalks, multi-use paths, safer street crossings, and streetscaping elements.
All of the projects are located in or provide a reported benefit to disadvantaged communities/
An additional $67 million will be awarded to projects by the state’s 10 largest Metropolitan Planning Organizations in their own regional competitions next year.
The Active Transportation Program was created in 2013 as the state’s dedicated funding source for walking and biking projects. Funding comes from Senate Bill 1, the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, as well as other state and federal funds, including the federal Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
