Our planning team supports local public agencies to develop plans that support safe walking and bicycling, with a focus on disadvantaged communities. Our planning work is based on robust, bilingual public engagement and promotes community health and safety while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The planning team’s work provides a critical step towards bringing in funding for active transportation projects and has led to $47 million in grant awards since 2018.
