The deadline for ATP Cycle 6 passed on June 15. 434 applications were received, 20 fewer than in Cycle 5. That drop is much smaller than the decrease of 100 from Cycle 4 to Cycle 5, however, so we are cautiously optimistic that the size of the applicant pool is beginning to stabilize.
Applications and Guidelines for Cycle 6 of the Active Transportation Program were approved at the March meeting of the California Transportation Commission.
