On July 22, 2025, the Federal Highway Administration awarded the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) a Formula Grant in the amount of $18,933,411.28 under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) for bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure improvements in the unincorporated community of South Whittier, California. The project involves the construction of Class II and Class III bicycle facilities at various intersections throughout the community, complemented by pedestrian improvements at multiple intersection locations to enhance multimodal connectivity.

This award supports transportation infrastructure improvements consistent with federal priorities under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which emphasizes sustainable and accessible transportation networks. The Highway Planning and Construction program provides federal financial assistance for highway preservation, improvement, and related transportation infrastructure, with funding distributed through statutory formula allocations. Class II and Class III bicycle facilities represent distinct infrastructure approaches—Class II facilities typically consist of designated bike lanes with striping and signage, while Class III facilities are marked shared lanes—making these complementary improvements designed to enhance bicycle and pedestrian safety and accessibility within the South Whittier community.
