The Active Transportation Program was created to encourage increased use of active modes of transportation, such as biking and walking. Funding from the Active Transportation Program may be used to fund the development of community wide bike, pedestrian, safe routes to schools, or active transportation plans in predominantly disadvantaged communities. The goals of the Active Transportation Program are to:
* Increase the proportion of trips accomplished by biking and walking or Increase the safety and mobility of non-motorized users.
* Advance the active transportation efforts of regional agencies to achieve greenhouse gas reduction
* Enhance public health, including reduction of childhood obesity using programs including, but not limited to, projects eligible for Safe Routes to School Program funding.
* Ensure that disadvantaged communities fully share in the benefits of the program.
* Provide a broad spectrum of projects to benefit many types of active transportation users.
