All of the projects are located in or provide a reported benefit to disadvantaged communities/
An additional $67 million will be awarded to projects by the state’s 10 largest Metropolitan Planning Organizations in their own regional competitions next year.
The Active Transportation Program was created in 2013 as the state’s dedicated funding source for walking and biking projects.
