SUMMARY
The City was awarded funding from the California Air Resource Board’s (CARB’s) Clean Mobility in Schools (CMIS) and Sustainable Transportation Equity Project (STEP) Grant Programs for Fiscal Year 2022-2023 to implement Safe Routes and Active Transportation for Schools and Underserved Communities in Hayward (Project). CMIS and STEP are state programs that aim to increase transportation equity by identifying and addressing communities’ transportation needs, increasing access to key destinations and services, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions and vehicle miles traveled. The grant application included partnership with several community organizations (TransForm, Bike East Bay, and Teach Earth Action) and the Hayward Unified School District (HUSD), each of which is responsible for executing some elements of this grant. This action would authorize the City Manager to execute agreements with TransForm, Bike East Bay, and HUSD.
