CASE STUDY 3: SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL GRANT APPLICATIONS
CASE STUDY 3: SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL GRANT APPLICATIONS
The City of Los Angeles Department of Transportation( LADOT) submitted four successful applications to the State of California ' s first cycle of Active Transportation Program( ATP) grants in 2014. These proposals were awarded $ 18.5 million in funds for Safe Routes to School infrastructure improvements around nine schools. The project development process was an unprecedented, interdisciplinary collaboration between LADOT staff; Department of Public Works, City Planning; school administrators, teachers, and parents; community members; City Council offices; Los Angeles Unified School District; and Los Angeles School Police Department.
We will also build on the recent planning efforts for the City’ s Mobility Plan 2035, the Plan for a Healthy Los Angeles, and Metro’ s plans such as its Connect US and First / Last Mile Strategic Plans. These efforts formed valuable relationships and gathered a wealth of community knowledge that will point us in the right direction. In addition, the City will continue to strengthen and form community partnerships to develop and deliver meaningful and accessible opportunities for community engagement.
