ATP is a federal and state funded program which provides construction and educational grants for projects that increase the proportion of biking and walking, increase traffic safety and mobility for pedestrians and cyclists, and reduce childhood obesity. ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM SB1 AUGMENTATION (ATP SB1) Most recently, Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 Senate Bill 1 (Chapter 20, Statutes of 2017) added approximately $100 million per year in available funds for the ATP. This will nearly double the amount of available funds for the Active Transportation Program.
