Summary

CTC staff said a draft $619,321,000 is available for Cycle 8 over four years, with the call for projects expected March 19–20; component breakdown and key application dates were shared.

California Transportation Commission staff on Feb. 5 gave applicants the first clear draft fund estimate for Cycle 8 of the Active Transportation Program (ATP), saying $619,321,000 is available across the four-year cycle and laying out release and deadline dates for applicants.

Anya, a commission presenter, told the workshop: “We have $619,321,000 available for Cycle 8, and that is over 4 years.” She added that the call for projects (the NOFO) is expected to be released March 19 or 20 immediately after the commissioners adopt the guidelines and fund estimate.

Staff provided component breakdowns from the draft figure: the MPO component is 40% (about $247,700,000), the small urban and rural component about $61,900,000, and the statewide component about $309,600,000. Staff said plans are capped at up to 2% of funding, while other project categories have no fixed caps; the highest-scoring proposals will receive awards.

Key dates staff listed for applicants and evaluators include: the call for evaluators (March 1), Submittable training (March 26), the call for projects (expected March 19–20), application deadline (June 22), staff recommendations posted (Nov. 2), adoption of statewide and small-urban/rural components (December commission meeting), and MPO component adoption (June 2027).

Staff emphasized that the draft fund estimate is subject to commissioner adoption in March and that detailed funding allocations by MPO or project category will be provided in the posted materials. The workshop slides and recordings will be posted on the ATP website under the Cycle 8 tab.
