The goals of this grant opportunity included:

  • Encourage active transportation and healthy lifestyles through improvements to the vitality of downtowns, mixed-use centers, and community gathering spaces;
  • Support economic development and increase opportunities for businesses to thrive;
  • Imagine innovative, community connecting uses of public spaces;
  • Support community access to the right of way that safely accommodates all modes of travel; and
  • Provide safe access to opportunity and mobility for residents of all ages, incomes and abilities, including vulnerable users.
