Connecticut Advocates and Officials Ready to Target Federal FundingPosted: 12/22/2011
Hosted by Bike Walk Connecticut and the Capitol Region Council of Governments, the workshop gave both advocates and agency staff the tools and strategies to harness underutilized federal funding sources for bicycle and pedestrian programs and projects. “The workshop provided excellent resources, and most importantly, empowered the attendees to take action to improve the funding picture,” Sandy Fry, CRCOG Principal Transportation Planner, said. “There will be new efforts and initiatives as a result of this workshop and with the broad cross section of attendees, the efforts have a very good chance for success.” Action 2020 Workshops are facilitated by Advocacy Advance – a partnership of the League of American Bicyclists and Alliance for Biking & Walking.
