Are you looking to improve your community’s pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure? We have an opportunity for funding that you may be interested in!
The Texas Department of Transportation announced a call for projects for the Transportation Alternatives Set-Aside (TA) funding program with both currently available and future anticipated funds. The call is requesting projects surrounding pedestrian and/or bicycle safety and infrastructure.
Communities of any size are encouraged to apply for the funding program, though priority is given to communities with 5,000 people or less. *Note: The first application deadline is March 1st – We know that this is last minute, but we are here to help if anyone is interested. The Texas A&M Agrilife Extension Working on Wellness Environments team is able to provide pre-application assistance to community leaders if needed, in the following ways:
– Walking through program criteria and guidelines
– Identifying possible projects in the community
– Assisting with basic planning steps and providing a broad cost estimate
*If chosen to move on to step 2 of the application process, we can help you identify relevant resources and contacts fo technical assistance.
Please contact Anna Stehling – Working on Wellness Environments Program Coordinator, via email at astehling5511@tamu.edu if you have any questions.
