Built Environment & Active Transportation Initiative (BEAT) - Community Planning Grants Support Communities with Re-thinking their Traditionally Designed Neighbourhoods to Improve Connectivity for Walking and Cycling.
Phase 2 of the program’s Community Planning Grants are now open to assist local governments with developing or amending existing plans for active transportation. Please read the Program Guide for eligibility and deadlines. Expressions of Interest due January 30, 2009. Click to download the Program Guide from our website.
When improvements in active transportation are made, communities win with lower infrastructure costs, increases in tourism and local retail sales, higher property values and the ability to attract employees and businesses to the community.
The BEAT is a joint initiative of the BC Recreation & Parks Association and the Union of BC Municipalities. Funding is provided by the BC Healthy Living Alliance, with support from ActNow BC.
