Communities in Motion Implementation Grants

Communities in Motion Implementation Grants support COMPASS member agencies in implementing Communities in Motion, the regional long-range transportation plan for Ada and Canyon Counties. The grant program provides direct support for locally important projects that also help reinforce the regional goals established in Communities in Motion. The grant program specifically addresses three tasks identified to help achieve Communities in Motion goals:

1. Provide better access to public transportation, bike, and pedestrian facilities to offset congestion.

2. Invest in town centers, main streets, and existing infrastructure as identified in Communities in Motion.

3. Develop specific area plans for activity centers consistent with Communities in Motion and with planned integration of alternative transportation systems.

Any COMPASS general or special member agency may apply for a grant under this program by submitting a Phase I application in the COMPASS funding application process.

Recent grants are listed below; older grants can be found on the Communities in Motion Implementation Grants Archives page.
