Planning and Capacity Building: Projects in Action

About
Planning and Capacity Building projects are intended to increase transportation equity in disadvantaged and low-income communities by improving the local understanding of residents’ transportation needs, helping develop organizational and community capacity-building so communities are ready to plan for clean transportation solutions, and preparing communities to implement community-identified projects that fill transportation gaps and improve clean transportation access.
Planning and Capacity Building (also called "Planning" for short) as a dedicated funding category began with an initial $5 million allocated in Fiscal Year 2022-23. In 2023, CARB released a joint competitive Request for Applications (RFA) for Planning, CMIS, and STEP applications. Ultimately, CARB awarded $3.1 million to 7 Planning Grants, listed below.
