Please join the Safe Routes Partnership and California Transportation Commission for a webinar on April 30 about a new change in the ATP Guidelines: additional questions about the non-infrastructure program in Combined Infrastructure/Non-Infrastructure applications.

In this webinar, we will give an overview of the new questions, provide suggestions on how best to answer them, and answer any questions you might have.
