t its meeting this week, the California Transportation Commission agreed to accelerate its allocations of funds for approved Active Transportation Program (ATP) projects. This is possible because S.B. 1, the transportation funding bill recently passed by the state legislature, included an annual increase of $100 million for the ATP, a more than 80 percent increase over current funding levels.
Most ATP projects that had been awarded in recent rounds were not anticipated to receive their funding until 2020 at the earliest; this new funding will mean these projects can be on the ground sooner.
