Status of Implementation
The Department of Transportation seeks funding for competitive and formula grants in order to plan, design, and construct bicycle, pedestrian, Americans with Disabilities Act infrastructure, and non-infrastructure programs. Staff administers grants; monitors performance objectives and other grant requirements; and prepares necessary reports in conformance with federal and state requirements. Department staff provide input on bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure, in addition to other modes, in short range and long range plans for new subdivisions. Staff prepare bicycle and pedestrian-related plans, including the Active Transportation Plan, feasibility plans, and corridor plans. The Department is currently working on a feasibility plan for Stockton Boulevard from Florin Road to Mack Road/Elsie Avenue for Class IV bikeways, sidewalk infill, and other improvements.
In addition to infrastructure improvements, the Department is seeking funding for the development and implementation of a Pedestrian Wayfinding Mobile Application. The application gives people real time directions for walking and rolling to their destination, customized to the individual's mobility needs. The app provides information such as presence of sidewalks, location of curb ramps, tripping hazards, and major obstructions, which can be especially helpful to seniors and people with disabilities.
The Department of Transportation submitted six grant applications in 2024 for bicycle and pedestrian projects and programs. The projects include:
Sacramento County Complete Pedestrian Trips – a pedestrian wayfinding mobile application particularly benefiting older adults and people with disabilities. Project location: North Highlands, South Sacramento, West Arden, and Vineyard environmental justice communities
