Networks & Partners

Congratulations to all recipients of Transformative Climate Communities (TCC)

As 2017 comes to a close, we would like thank our many partners across Orange County in helping us to achieve advancements in active transportation. The Orange County Active Transportation Network was formed in early 2017, and through partner input we drafted the Active Transportation Vision document as an advocacy tool.

As part of SCAG’s ongoing Go Human campaign, the cities of Santa Ana, Westminster and Garden Grove, along with leadership from County of Orange District 1 Supervisor Andrew Do’s office, recently held Redefine Hazard Avenue. The event brought a temporary bike lane to what is a corridor where cyclists and pedestrians normally feel unwelcomed.

The Inland Valleys’ active transportation networks in San Bernardino and Riverside County met in September.  These networks convene stakeholders from city and county agencies, public health departments and community based organizations. Each network heard from guest speakers from Climate Plan, who dove into the implementation of Senate Bill 1 and how its programs will impact the Inland Valleys.

Held on September 22, the 2017 Orange County Active Transportation Forum was a great success! Now in its sixth year running, the theme of this year’s forum was The Intersection of Housing and Transit--highlighting the importance of cross-sector collaboration to support growth of active transportation and sustainable, healthy, and equitable communities across Orange County.  Attendees heard from Chuck Marohn, founder of Strong Towns, about how important it is for the public to speak up about their values and needs.

Congratulations to two of our partners (and former Safe Routes Partnership California Senior Policy Managers) who made big professional moves this month: Jeanie Ward-Waller, Policy Director of CalBike, will be leading the Sustainability Program at CalTrans, and Chanell Fletcher will be the Director at ClimatePlan after serving as Associate Director since January 2016.
