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 .
