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.

Congratulations to two of our partners (and former Safe Routes Partnership California Senior Policy Managers) who made big professional moves this month: Jeanie Ward-Waller, Policy Director of CalBike, will be leading the Sustainability Program at CalTrans, and Chanell Fletcher will be the Director at ClimatePlan after serving as Associate Director since January 2016.
Earlier this year, the SB1 transportation bill included an extra $100 million each year for the Active Transportation Program. And those funds are already making their way to communities in need: 54 cities and counties have been newly funded. In this augmentation cycle, Caltrans reconsidered applications from the 2017 cycle, and were able to fund projects that scored a 79 or higher (the prior cut-off was 89).
