The Department of Transportation California (Caltrans) received a $350,000 Formula Grant award from the Federal Highway Administration's Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) on January 16, 2025. The grant will fund the development of a Citywide Active Transportation Plan (ATP) for the City of Orange. The ATP will outline recommendations to improve walking and biking conditions in high-need areas based on public engagement and analysis of existing safety and socioeconomic data. The plan will also update the city's Bikeway Master Plan and support efforts to increase non-motorized transportation. The City of Orange will serve as a sub-grantee, responsible for the planning and implementation of the project within the city.
