CTDOT Active Transportation Microgrant Program CTDOT Active Transportation Microgrant Program The Active Transportation Microgrant Program provides grant opportunities to municipalities, schools, school districts and nonprofits for small active transportation projects.
The goal of the Active Transportation Microgrant Program is to provide equitable, safe, accessible, and sustainable access to transportation by making conditions safer for people of all ages to walk, bike and roll, thereby encouraging more people to use these healthy and environmentally sustainable modes of travel.
The Active Transportation Microgrant Program is a grant program developed by the Connecticut Department of Transportation (Department) in coordination with the Councils of Government (COG) that provides funding to Schools, School Districts, Municipalities, Health Districts, and Non-Profits (Organizations) for eligible items that contribute to equitable, safe, accessible and sustainable active transportation for vulnerable road users.
Starting with the 2024 solicitation, the Department will solicit applications through the COGs for grants on a rolling basis contingent upon available funding. Applications will be collected, reviewed, and awarded based on available program funds. Organizations will be permitted to apply for Active Transportation Microgrants twice during a calendar year provided that all requested funds are expended prior to applying for a second grant.
The funding limit for grants awarded in the 2025 solicitation is $5,000 and can only be used for eligible active transportation non-infrastructure items. Costs associated with other activities such as engineering; rights-of-way negotiations and acquisitions; utility relocation; and public involvement, are the responsibility of the Organization. The intent of this program is to fund stand-alone items up to the approved grant cap.
Should expenses exceed the established grant cap, such costs shall be the sole responsibility of the applicant. These funds can only be used for the eligible items listed below. No match is required under this funding source.
