Active Transportation Microgrant Program
This program provides funding to schools, municipalities, and nonprofits in Connecticut to promote safe and accessible walking, biking, and rolling through the purchase of safety equipment and educational materials.
The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) has launched a new Active Transportation Microgrant Program, allocating $500,000 to support non-infrastructure projects that promote safe, accessible, sustainable, and equitable walking, biking, and rolling in Connecticut. Eligible applicants, including schools, school districts, municipalities, and 501(c)(3) nonprofits, can receive up to $5,000 for items such as bicycle helmets, locks, fleets, safety vests, and educational materials. The program aims to improve safety and mobility for vulnerable road users, in conjunction with CTDOT’s Safe Routes to School Program, and is administered by regional Councils of Governments (COGs). Applications will be accepted, and funding distributed by the COGs, on a quarterly basis until all funds in the program are utilized.
