Description
The Vermont Agency of Transportation’s Small Scale Bicycle and Pedestrian Grants provide state funding to support the planning, design, and construction of smaller-scale bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure projects throughout Vermont. The program is designed for projects that are limited in scope and cost compared to federal-aid programs, enabling communities to implement focused improvements such as short path or sidewalk segments, safety upgrades, crosswalk enhancements, and other targeted interventions that improve walking and cycling conditions. The intent is to foster alternative transportation options and enhance local mobility through practical, community-driven projects that do not require the scale or complexity of federal-aid initiatives.
