This $450,000 formula grant award from the Federal Highway Administration's Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) will support efforts by the Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG) to promote alternative transportation modes in the six-county SACOG region of California. The grant will fund outreach, incentives, programs, grants, and pilot projects to encourage the use of alternative transportation options such as ridesharing, carpooling, vanpooling, public transit, bicycling, walking, telecommuting, and bikeshare. These transportation demand management (TDM) activities are recognized as transportation control measures by the EPA and are expected to provide ROG emissions reductions of 0.54 kg/day and NOX emissions reductions of 0.5 kg/day. This is a continuation of a previous phase 3 project under grant number VAR56184. The grant award was made on December 23, 2024.
