The Active Transportation Program (ATP) was created by Senate Bill 99 (Chapter 359, Statutes of 2013) and Assembly Bill 101 (Chapter 354, Statues of 2013) to encourage increased use of active modes of transportation, such as biking and walking. Senate Bill 1 (Chapter 2031, Statues of 2017) directs additional funding from the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account to the ATP. The goals of the ATP include, but are not limited to, increasing the proportion of trips accomplished by walking and biking, increasing the safety and mobility of non-motorized users, advancing efforts of regional agencies to achieve greenhouse gas reduction goals, enhancing public health, and providing a broad spectrum of projects to benefit many types of users including disadvantaged communities.
Active Transportation Program (ATP) funds are separated into three main components: the statewide competitive program that is managed by the California Transportation Commission (CTC), the small urban and rural area competitive program, also managed by the CTC, and the large urbanized area competitive program managed by the Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPO), Fresno COG, which is also referred to as the Regional ATP.

Previous ATP Cycle Information
Fresno COG’s Active Transportation Program (ATP) Cycle 3 Regional Call for Projects took place from July 1, 2016, through September 15, 2016. Six applications were submitted directly to the Regional Call for Projects for a total funding request of $1.51 million. However, per program guidelines, the Fresno County applications not selected through the Statewide Call for Projects, which was open by the California Transportation Commission (CTC) from April 15, 2016, through June 15, 2016, were also considered and evaluated as part of the Regional Call for Projects. For Cycle 3, Fresno COG will receive $1,338,000 for each fiscal year (2019/20 and 2020/21) to award to local projects. Per the ATP legislation, at least 25% of the program funds must benefit projects in disadvantaged communities.
The scoring committee, consisting of ATP Multidisciplinary Advisory Group (MAG) members, convened on November 2, 2016, to score and deliberate on the project applications submitted. The draft recommended program of projects can be found below.
ATP Cycle 3 MPO Draft Project Recommendations
Fresno COG staff anticipates proposing a recommendation of approval for the ATP program of projects at the January 13, 2017, Transportation Technical Committee (TTC) and Policy Advisory Committee (PAC) meetings, as well as the January 26, 2017, Policy Board meeting. The deadline for Fresno COG to submit the Regional ATP Cycle 3 program of projects to the CTC is January 27, 2017. CTC plans to adopt the various MPO Program of Projects at their March 2017 meeting. Subsequently, Fresno COG’s 2017 FTIP will be amended during the summer of 2017 to incorporate the approved Cycle 3 ATP projects. Project proponents and members of the public are welcome to attend any of these meetings and speak on behalf of the projects.
