Recently, we shared info on the Carbon Reduction Program, a distribution of $6.4 billion in formula funding over a five-year period in an effort to reduce transportation emissions across the US.
We also asked how you’d like to see funding from the program spent in our urbanized area, should we receive program money again.
Here’s a breakdown of what you said:
- 40% | Public transportation
- 41% | Pedestrian-friendly roads and facilities
- 7% | Fuel alternatives
- 24% | Traffic management/road diet projects
- 25% | Bike infrastructure
- 3% | Port electrification projects
8% of you mentioned other projects that you’d be eager to see, like:
- Intercity rail system (think: Amtrak) + commuter trains within the city — we might be getting close
- Road expansions
FY2024 funding announcements are expected in January or February.
