Description

Sustainable Transportation Planning Grants are provided by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) to support planning projects that advance sustainable communities, encourage active transportation, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and improve mobility and accessibility for all users. The grants are designed to help regions and localities in California develop plans and strategies that integrate transportation, land use, and environmental considerations, with a focus on long-term sustainability, public health, and economic vitality.

Eligible projects may address multimodal transportation, active transportation (walking, cycling), climate resilience, public health, equity, and economic development through integrated planning. These grants play a critical role in preparing communities to meet state climate goals, adapt to climate change, and create more livable, connected environments.
