The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has announced $373M in grant money to be awarded to 30 to 40 communities throughout the US, to reduce obesity and tobacco use. This is an excellent opportunity for Virginia communities to secure funding for major bike-ped projects and programs.
The Alliance for Biking and Walking has done an excellent job providing information about this new grant program, Communities Putting Prevention to Work (CPPW). We encourage you to visit their website to read all about it, and to download their list of sample bike-ped activities (PDF) that fit within the parameters of the program.
