VICTORIA—The Province is once again opening up applications for their Active Transportation Planning Grant, allowing local governments to receive funding to incorporate or strengthen active transportation components of their community development plans.

In total, $600,000 will be available over two years for the program which will help make cycling, walking and other forms of active transportation safe, accessible and convenient for people, while lessening climate pollution caused by greenhouse gases.

“Building well-connected, accessible and safe, active transportation routes will give British Columbians more opportunities to leave their cars at home.”—Claire Trevena, Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure

“Local governments play a significant role in network planning, and I’m pleased to offer this new grant to help communities incorporate active transportation into their road planning,” said Trevena.

To qualify for funding applicants will have to demonstrate how their proposed projects will help support and integrate active transportation as part of their community planning and land-use planning process.
