This cut amounts to eliminating an entire ATP funding cycle, significantly reducing funding for infrastructure that will reduce soaring pedestrian deaths and enable more people to get around safely by bicycle. The Active Transportation Program needs more funding, not less. The ATP already turned away many worthy biking and walking projects because of a lack of funding, even before this cut. The governor's budget doesn't cut funding for climate-killing highways. California can afford to fund the ATP. With rising climate chaos, we can't afford not to spend money on active transportation. This drastic cut will affect communities across California, forcing local governments to delay planned bikeways — maybe one near you. Last year, the governor tried to cut the ATP, and the legislature restored the funding. Tell your representatives we need them to protect active transportation again.
