The California Transportation Commission (CTC) met earlier this week to review staff recommendations for the Active Transportation Program (ATP) Cycle 2 awards for the Statewide and Small Urban and Rural components of the program.
For the ATP Cycle 2 awards, more than 600 applications were submitted for a total funding request of more than $1 billion. However, there is only roughly $360 million available, and ultimately a number of well-deserving projects will go unfunded. The Statewide component of the program supported 86 awards, of which 19 funded projects were awarded to RCRC member counties for a total funding amount of $24.64 million or 13.7% of total funding available. The Small Urban and Rural component of the program supported 27 awards, which 21 funded projects were awarded to RCRC member counties for a total funding amount of $26.44 million or 74.4% of total available funding. The complete list of the adopted recommendations can be accessed here.
The ATP was established by Senate Bill 99 (2013), which consolidated several state and federal transportation programs that support active transportation, including the Transportation Alternatives Program, Recreational Trails, and Safe Routes to Schools Programs.
