The grant supports Contra Costa County in implementing various bicycle and pedestrian safety awareness, education, and encouragement programs tailored to the needs of the local communities, such as considering language, educational attainment, and cultural background.

As a sub-awardee under this grant, the Contra Costa Transportation Authority received $693,013 to deliver bicycle and pedestrian safety improvements across the county over a 5-year period. This builds on the Authority's previous successes in securing federal grants for innovative transportation initiatives, including automated vehicle demonstrations and multi-modal safety enhancements.
