The Active Transportation Resource Center Administration

This project will enhance and expand the existing Active Transportation Resource Center (ATRC), which is a training and resource hub for local agencies, municipal planning organizations, and similar groups to utilize in planning, developing, applying for, and implementing projects and programs that support active transportation in California. The ATRC was established under the California Department of Transportation’s Active Transportation Program. The project team will use the lessons derived from their research to improve the variety of services ATRC provides, such as the latest in research, training, consultation, and coordination services. In detail, this project will focus on three long-term objectives: (1) Given the growing competitiveness in the Active Transportation Program funding process, the team will expand the reach of the ATRC to provide broad support for active transportation projects needing guidance in seeking alternative sources of funding. (2) The team will ensure the ATRC plays an active role in addressing and reversing systemic racism, classism, and other structural disadvantages associated with transportation planning in the past and present. (3) Finally, the team will strengthen the ATRC’s ties to active transportation research by ensuring the ATRC functions as the primary portal for practitioners to access research, seeking new avenues of research, and looking for partnership opportunities.
