The Fiscal Year (FY) 2021-22 Draft Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant Application Guide document has just been released for a 30-day public comment period from October 5 to November 4, 2020. Please take a few moments to review and provide your input, ideas, and comments specific to the Draft Grant Application Guide.
This document describes policies, grant program objectives, grant administrative requirements, and procedures for submitting a competitive grant application. It represents a culmination of meaningful consultation with the California State Transportation Agency, the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research, the California Air Resources Board, the California Department of Housing and Community Development, and the California Department of Public Health.
In addition, two virtual public workshops were conducted in spring 2020 to inform the development of the final draft and receive initial comments from stakeholders. In total, approximately 65 comments were received from 8 organizations representing various State, regional, and local governments.
The Division of Transportation Planning looks forward to receiving specific comments and feedback. Two final virtual workshops will be held in November 2020 to provide a summary of the comments received, the updates anticipated, and will give stakeholders a last opportunity to provide input into the FY 2021-22 Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant Application Guide before releasing the final document/call-for-applications. Visit the website below for the anticipated schedule for this annual grant cycle.
