GoGrant Program

GoGrant Program is sponsored by Movability (City of Austin, Climate Pollution Reduction Grant program, and donors). The GoGrant program helps shift the way Central Texans commute by supporting projects that result in fewer drive-alone trips. It provides financial assistance to employers within Austin city limits with the goal of creating lasting changes in transportation habits.

All funded projects must demonstrate a clear outcome: fewer people driving alone and more people choosing to use carpooling, biking, vanpooling, and transit to get where they're going. * **GoGrant has two funding cycles each year, in the first and third quarters. **There are two grant types: 1.

INFRASTRUCTURE | Projects that feature materials/goods such as permanent structures (eg. bike racks, lockers, etc.) 2.

MOBILITY PLANNING | Customized mobility analysis, recommendations, and programming (e.g., employee surveys, parking solutions, funding for programs like vanpools or gamification) **_"_****Your continued support has directly provided bicycles to 45 children this year, and we are incredibly thankful to Movability and the whole team!

Who is eligible to apply? Applicants must be located within Austin city limits and must be small businesses or organizations (up to 49 employees or less than $10 million in annual revenue). Businesses with more than 49 employees or above $10 million in annual revenue eligible for free and subsidized mobility planning and programming through our construction mitigation services, which are funded by an EPA grant.

## 2. Do I need to be a member of Movability to apply? Your business or organization does not need to be an existing member, but one year of complimentary membership is a GoGrant benefit for first-time recipients.

You will then have the option of renewing membership. ## 3. What if I have a mobility need that's not eligible for funding?

Contact us to discuss what you have in mind! ## 4. Can nonprofit organizations apply?

## 5. If my business or organization receives funding, what reporting requirements must I meet? To receive funding, recipients must agree to measure the impact of the project.

This will typically require a measurement of pre-grant activities and a measurement of post-grant activities. For example, if a business wants funds to discount dockless scooter trips, they should report on the number of scooter trips before the discounts were provided and then after the funds are spent, the number of scooter trips that were taken with the discount.

Movability will work with each business or organization to determine the best reporting metrics for each project. ## 6. Can I pay staff with GoGrant funds to manage our project?

No, funds may only be used to pay for material goods or the installation of those goods. Contact us if you have questions regarding a specific project. ## 7.

Can I work with another business to submit a joint application? And do we get more funding if we submit a joint application? Yes, you can apply a with a joint application.

Depending on the project type you may be eligible for additional funds over the $7,500 grant cap. Contact us if you are considering a joint application. ## 8.

Do I need to submit a match to be awarded funding? ## 9. Can I be awarded multiple grants?

A business or organization may only receive funding for one project per grant cycle. However, if you have several different projects in mind, you may submit a separate application for each project. ## 10.

Can funds be used to pay for the installation of project goods? Definitely! As long as the project infrastructure meets the outlined requirements of the program, you may use funding toward the installation of goods like bike racks, bike repair stations, and storage.

## 12. Who has received GoGrant funding in the past? * Austin Theatre Alliance * Austin Youth River Watch * Chez Zee American Bistro * Dream Come True Foundation * Mobile Loaves and Fishes * Museum of Human Achievement * United Christian Church of Austin ## 13.

What is the definition of an infrastructure project? These are projects where funding is spent on a useful and permanent structure that will result in more people using active modes to travel to that location. The outcome for infrastructure projects should be a net reduction in drive-alone trips to the grant recipient's location.

Examples of potential infrastructure projects include but are not limited to: · Designated parking for micro-mobility options · Bike Stair Ramp (Runnels) · Covered parking for bikes · Bicycle oriented vending machines · Shade structures for waiting for transit or ride hailing · Water bottle filling station All projects with a physical component must include a provision for a small sign referencing Movability and GoGrant.

All infrastructure projects must be compliant with city code and ordinances, and proper municipal permitting shall be followed. Types of infrastructure projects that will not be considered: · Beautification projects · Construction projects that are not directly related to active or micro-mobility (placemaking, landscaping, lighting, security cameras) ## 14. Why are programmatic projects no longer a standalone type of GoGrant?

Starting in Fall 2026, GoGrant recipients who are interested in using incentives and policy to encourage use of active and non-drive alone transportation modes will need to apply for a hybrid planning/programmatic grant. Our expert team will gather data and create programmatic recommendations, which can also be funded by GoGrant.

This is to ensure that grant recipients receive mobility services that are the best possible fit for their needs and location.

Examples of potential programmatic recommendations include but are not limited to: · Discounts/subsidies for mobility options · Transit pass purchases for employees _who are not already using transit*_ · Micromobilty pass purchase programs · Gamification programs to incentivize active and micro-mobility options · Education and/or marketing programs * Are you looking for help purchasing passes for employees or clients who already use transit?

The **MovePass** program is designed to help with bulk transit pass purchasing for organizations whose employees or clients are already using transit. ## 15. What is the definition of a mobility planning project?

Mobility planning project funding is for focused custom commute and mobility analysis from our staff, which can then lead to additional funding for programming. _Please note that larger employers (more than 49 employees or annual revenue above $10 million) interested in these services eligible to receive free mobility planning through our construction mitigation services_.

The outcome for mobility planning projects should be a net reduction in drive-alone trips to the grant recipient's location.

Examples of Mobility Planning projects include but are not limited to: · Survey employees and analyze their commute challenges · Inventory available employer transportation resources and available and appropriate options · Map employees’ origin and employment destination to inform programmatic recommendations · Propose new strategies to mitigate employee challenges while meeting the employer/organizational goals * [](https://www.
