CalBike Summit Session This Thursday: Creative Approaches to Funding Active Transportation Infrastructure - Streetsblog California
Briefly

The California Bike Coalition is hosting a webinar titled 'Creative Approaches to Funding Active Transportation' on February 20, featuring experts discussing innovative strategies. With state funding drying up and federal interest in active transport declining, experts urge lawmakers to tap into existing state resources like the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities program. This is essential for meeting California's greenhouse gas emission reduction goals. The event is part of CalBike's initiative to sustain momentum and dialogue outside its biennial conference, focusing on active transportation solutions amidst financial challenges.
With state budgets tightening and federal support waning, advocacy for innovative funding solutions for active transportation in California has become urgent.
The Governor's office is being called upon to explore new funding avenues, including leveraging existing programs like AHSC and CMO for enhancing transit options.
