Grant Will Help OCTA Survey Unsafe Sidewalks Near Stations
The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA), Orange, CA, will complete its survey of unsafe and obstructed sidewalks with the help of a $163,333 Active Transportation Program grant from the Southern California Association of Governments in partnership with Caltrans. The required 11 percent local match, $21,162, will come from State Transportation Improvement Program funds set aside by OCTA for planning studies.
The Orange County Sidewalk Inventory Project will create a countywide inventory of sidewalks that will identify the gaps, obstructions and amenities that may block pedestrian activity and access. The study will take about 12 months to complete and will cover 1,620 miles of roadways, major transit corridors and sidewalks within a half-mile radius of all 11 Metrolink commuter rail stations and all six transportation centers in the county.
The state created the Active Transportation Program in 2013 to encourage the increased use of active modes of transportation including biking and walking.
