Ready to make biking, walking, and Safe Routes to School safer and more accessible in your community?
Don’t miss this informational webinar on upcoming federal funding opportunities to support these efforts! We’ll focus on two key funding sources: Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) and the Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP). These funding programs are available to all communities across the country, and we'll be showing you how communities in Pennsylvania (and beyond) can take advantage of them! During the webinar, you’ll hear from regional experts about the types of projects that can get funding, grant timelines, how to apply, and best practices for crafting a competitive application. This webinar is open to everyone, and while the focus will be on Pennsylvania, the tips and strategies shared will be helpful no matter where you’re located in the country. Also, Safe Routes Partnership will introduce a new initiative aimed at helping communities in the Greater Philadelphia region secure these federal funds.
This webinar is part of a series of free resources made possible by the generous support of the William Penn Foundation.

August recess is upon us, which means lawmakers are back in their home states and districts. With the entire House up for re-election, and one-third of the Senate and The White House on the ballot in November, lawmakers and candidates are making the case for (re) election to their constituents.
