WalkWorks Continues to Fund the Development of Active Transportation Plans and Policies

For the first time, in August 2017, Walk Works announced the availability of funding to assist municipal entities with the development of active transportation plans and related polices. At that time, four grant recipients were selected. In 2018, again, WalkWorks was able to award funds to assist with the development of eight active transportation plans and two complete streets policies! We are pleased to announce that grants have recently been awarded to assist with the development of nine active transportation plans – one of which will be a vision zero action plan (our first!) – and three complete streets policies!

By helping to fund these efforts, WalkWorks continues its aim to establish new or improved pedestrian, bicycle and transit transportation systems – activity-friendly routes – that are combined with land use and environmental design, thereby increasing connectivity to everyday destinations.

With the assistance of transportation experts, a range of stakeholders and public input, these grant recipients and communities have demonstrated their commitments to encourage physical activity by prioritizing active transportation as evidenced by the projects set forth in their respective plans. WalkWorks looks forward to the same with its newest awardees!
