Projects Identified for OBAG 2 Funding
Communities throughout San Mateo County will soon have much needed new resources for improving pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure. On March 9th, the Board of Directors from the City & County Association of Governments (C/CAG) approved several projects for submission to the Metropolitan Transportation Commission‘s One Bay Area Grant Program, known as OBAG 2, now in its second round of funding. The projects are being funded under two separate programs, Transportation for Livable Communities (TLC), which is intended to support community-based transportation projects that reduce air pollution in downtown areas, commercial cores, high-density neighborhoods, and transit corridors; and the Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvement Program (BPIP), which is intended to address air pollution reduction and support bicycle/pedestrian commuter needs. Each program has nearly $6 million in funding available. Click here to read about the projects submitted, and look for Item 6.2 on the agenda.
