FUNDING SOURCES
Various sources exist to fund bicycle and
pedestrian infrastructure projects, programs,
and studies. Local and regional funding
sources that can be used for the construction
or maintenance of bicycle or pedestrian
improvements, along with statewide and federal
grant programs, are described on the following
pages. Eligibilities for the funding programs
listed in this section are summarized in Table 11.
Local and regional
Funding Sources
cItY oF HAn Ford
The City of Hanford can implement bicycle and
pedestrian projects in conjunction with other
projects, including pavement resurfacing, new
developments, and frontage development.
Funds for implementing bicycle and pedestrian
projects can also come from a dedication of
a certain dollar amount in the City’s Capital
Improvements Program (CIP).
General Fund
The City can utilize revenues from the General
Fund to build and maintain pedestrian and
bicycle facilities or match State and Federal
Funds.
Developer Fees
The City can implement bicycle and pedestrian
improvements using revenues generated from
developer fees. These improvements should
accommodate the new development.
Developer Agreements
When permitting new developments, the City
can require the developer to implement portions
of bicycle and pedestrian improvements where
the construction becomes part of the new
development.
Other Local Programs
The City can leverage private donations to
develop pedestrian or bicycle facilities through
programs such as “adopt-a-highway” and
memorials.

California Clean Air Act (CCAA) –
SJVAPCD Remove II Program
Clean Air Funds generated by a surcharge on
automobile registration imposed by authorized
air districts in California to provide funds to
meet responsibilities mandated under the
California Clean Air Act (CCAA). This Program
can assist with developing and expanding a
comprehensive bicycle transportation network.
Congestion Management and Air Quality
(CMAQ) Program
Funds transportation projects and programs that
will contribute to the attainment or maintenance
of the National Ambient Air Quality Standard
for ozone and carbon monoxide by reducing
congestion and improving air quality. The
program will fund the construction of bicycle
and pedestrian facilities and bicycle support
programs such as brochures, maps, and public
service announcements.
Local Transportation Fund (LTF)
Up to two percent of each county’s LTF can
be claimed annually by local jurisdictions to
be used for installing or maintaining bicycle
and pedestrian facilities (Public Utilities Code,
Section 99233.3). This amount would provide
around $90,000 each year for bicycle and
pedestrian projects. The RTPA may also
reserve an amount so designated, up to 2%
of the LTF, each year for later allocation to
claimants for pedestrian and bicycle facilities
or bicycle safety programs. If the RTPA finds
that all or any portion of the amount reserved
could be used more appropriately for other
purposes, that amount can be added to the
total apportionment available the following
year. Generally, local jurisdictions prefer to use
LTF allocations claimed for street and road
purposes for bicycle and pedestrian projects to
minimize administrative costs. The Kings County
Association of Governments could apportion
an amount of LTF to provide a bicycle facilities
maintenance fund. If the funds are not needed
for bicycle facility maintenance, the funds
can be returned to the following fiscal year’s
estimated LTF for reapportionment.
REAP 2.0
The California Department of Housing and
Community Development (HCD), in collaboration
with the Governor’s Office of Planning and
Research, the Strategic Growth Council, and
the California Air Resources Board, established
the Regional Early Action Planning (REAP) 2.0
program. The purpose of REAP 2.0 is to support
transformative planning and implementation
activities such as accelerating infill and
affordable housing development, reducing
vehicle miles traveled, and increasing transit
ridership, walking, and biking as primary modes
of transportation. The Kings County Association
of Governments (KCGA) was awarded
$2,060,590 in REAP 2.0 for eligible activities.
KCAG submitted an Advance Application for
$206,059 to fund the administration of grant
funds, development of the REAP 2.0 program,
public education and stakeholder outreach,
and preparation of the Full Application for the
remainder of the funds. KCAG submitted a Full
Application for $1,854,531. The proposed use of
the funds will be sub-allocated to local agencies
for eligible activities.

The Active Transportation Program (ATP)
was created to encourage the use of active
transportation through encouragement
and safety measures. Eligible projects
include infrastructure projects, education,
encouragement, and enforcement of non-
infrastructure projects that further the goals
of the ATP, a combination of infrastructure
and non-infrastructure activities, and the
development of active transportation plans
in disadvantaged communities. Senate Bill 1
(SB 1) stipulates that $100 million of revenues
from the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation
Account will be available annually to the ATP.
The ATP consolidates existing federal and
state transportation programs, including the
Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP),
Bicycle Transportation Account (BTA), and State
Safe Routes to School (SRTS), into a single
program with a focus on making California
a national leader in active transportation.
Applications are typically submitted in July.
Typical projects funded by the ATP include Safe
Routes to School programming, Safe Routes to
Transit programming, New or improved bicycle
infrastructure, including bike lanes and bike
parking, New or improved pedestrian facilities,
including sidewalks and crosswalks, and
Network links to trails and parks.
The goals of the ATP are to Increase the
proportion of walking and biking trips, Increase
safety and mobility for non-motorized users,
Reduce greenhouse gas emissions, Enhance
public health, and Ensure disadvantaged
communities share the program’s benefits.

The Sustainable Transportation Planning
Grant Program supports transportation
planning processes that address local and
regional transportation needs and issues. The
program offers two types of grants: Strategic
Partnerships and Sustainable Communities.
The Sustainable Communities Grants has
$29.5 million in funding to encourage local
and regional planning that furthers state
greenhouse gas emission reduction goals. The
Strategic Partnership Grant has $4.5 million
to identify and address statewide or regional
deficiencies on the State highway system in
partnership with Caltrans. The overarching
objectives to guide grant applications are
sustainability, preservation, accessibility, safety,
innovation, economy, health, and social equity.
Past awarded project types include active
