The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) a $300,000 Formula Grant under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) on August 14, 2025. This award supports comprehensive micro-mobility planning and bikeshare optimization efforts across six San Francisco Bay Area municipalities: Berkeley, Daly City, Emeryville, Oakland, San Francisco, and San Jose. The funding enables Caltrans to conceptualize and develop future micro-mobility strategies while strengthening existing regional bikeshare initiatives supported through the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC).

The grant deliverables include developing programming designed to increase bikeshare utilization across all MTC-supported bikeshare systems and conducting detailed analysis and assessment of current MTC-supported bikeshare operations. These activities align with federal transportation priorities emphasizing multimodal connectivity and sustainable urban mobility solutions within the Highway Planning and Construction program framework, which supports diverse transportation infrastructure improvements including pedestrian and bicycle facilities enhancement.
