Sustaining ATP Activities Beyond the Grant

Posted: 2/24/2026

WEBINAR: February 24, 2026, 10:00AM - 11:00AM PT [CLOSED]

The Active Transportation Resource Center (ATRC) at UC Davis presents a practical webinar on sustainability strategies for Active Transportation Program (ATP) non-infrastructure activities.

This session focuses on how organizations can maintain critical active transportation programs beyond their initial grant funding periods.

ATP Guidelines (Section I: Sustainability) require grantees to demonstrate plans for sustaining non-infrastructure activities after grant funding ends. However, many organizations struggle to identify viable funding sources and strategies for long-term program continuation. This webinar addresses these challenges by showcasing two successful ATP projects that have sustained active transportation activities well beyond their original funding periods.

Ecology Action, a non-profit environmental organization serving California's Central Coast, will share how they built a diverse funding tapestry to support equitable active transportation initiatives. Their mission centers on advancing equitable community climate solutions, with active transportation playing a key role. Through strategic planning and relationship-building, they've secured multiple funding sources to complement their ATP awards, creating a sustainable financial foundation for ongoing programs.
