The state of California recently awarded about $1 million in grant funding to three projects in Mendocino County, the California Department of Transportation reported.
In a press release, Caltrans officials announced that the agency “awarded $26.5 million in planning grants for 65 local projects, including five projects in District 1 (which includes Mendocino, Lake and Humboldt counties) to strengthen climate resiliency, reduce planet-warming pollution, improve bicycle and pedestrian safety and increase natural disaster preparedness throughout California.”
“The Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant program continues to bring transportation planning funding to our area each year, and these grants often represent a critical first step in the project development process,” Tatiana Ahlstrand, Caltrans District 1 Regional Planning Coordination Branch Chief, was quoted as saying in the release. “With more than $1.5 million in planning funds being awarded in District 1 this cycle, the five awarded grants will support multimodal transportation planning, climate adaptation, and tribal transportation needs. We extend our congratulations to our partners and look forward to continued collaboration.”
The grants awarded to projects in Mendocino County include:
Approximately $279,000 in Sustainable Communities Competitive and Technical Grant funding to the Mendocino Council of Governments (MCOG) for the Mendocino County Regional Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) Mitigation Program. MCOG seeks to develop a program to help the county comply with SB 743, which requires CEQA lead agencies to evaluate VMT impacts associated with land use development or transportation projects and implement mitigation measures when required. The program is expected to involve the county of Mendocino, incorporated cities (Ukiah, Fort Bragg, Point Arena, Willits), Mendocino County Air Quality Management District, Caltrans, and Native American Tribes. Approximately $442,000 in Climate Adaptation Planning Grant funding to the Mendocino County Department of Transportation for the Climate Adaptation Storm Drainage Vulnerability Analysis. The county experiences frequent flooding due to inadequate culvert capacities and climate change. This analysis will prioritize county owned and maintained culverts for replacement to better protect the county’s rural roadways. Approximately $286,000 in Sustainable Communities Competitive Grant funding to the City of Ukiah for the East Perkins Street Multimodal Transportation Plan. The project aims to improve pedestrian, bicycle, and transit facilities on East Perkins Street and its connections with U.S. 101 by studying needs and recommending multimodal improvements. The plan seeks to create a safer, more efficient corridor that promotes active transportation, economic development, and accessible mobility options, while considering community input, and data collection.
