Active Transportation Planning | Union of BC Municipalities (UBCM)

September 30, 2025

Value

Up to 100% of the cost of eligible activities to a maximum of $30,000.

Description

The intent of the Active Transportation Planning program is to support local governments to incorporate or enhance active transportation components of formal planning documents (Official Community Plan, Sustainability Plan, Neighbourhood Plan, or Transportation Plan), including research, engagement, and policy development.  Funding is provided by the Province of BC.

Eligible Applicants

All local governments (municipalities, regional districts, and the Islands Trust) in BC that meet the following criteria are eligible to apply:

  • Have a population of up to 25,000 (based on 2021 Census data). Note: regional districts can apply for one or more electoral areas with a combined population of up to 25,000 in a single application.
  • Do not have an active transportation plan or have a plan over 5 years old.
  • Are currently or will be undertaking a community land use and/or transportation plan to which an active transportation lens will be included.
  • Have not received a network planning grant from the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure’s Active Transportation Infrastructure Grant program.

Eligible Expenses

Under the Active Transportation Planning program, eligible activities must be cost-effective and may include:
  • Research, including data collection, mapping and walkability, bikeability, or community audits/assessments;
  • Engagement, including public and/or stakeholder engagement, surveys, and open houses;
  • Policy development, including drafting objectives/actions for inclusion in community land use and/or transportation plans.
The following expenditures are also eligible, provided they relate directly to the eligible activities identified above:
  • Incremental staff and administration costs (i.e. creating a new position or adding new responsibilities to an existing position);
  • Consultant costs;
  • Identification/incorporation of community and cultural values. This includes seeking advice from Indigenous Knowledge Holders and other experts (e.g., health authorities, First Nations Health Authority, etc.) and the community (e.g., equity-denied populations, Indigenous organizations, Indigenous Nations, local governments,), etc.;
  • Translation costs and the development of culturally appropriate education, awareness, or engagement materials;
  • Presentations to local government Council or Board, or community organizations, etc.;
  • Public information costs. Please note: public information costs (e.g., workshops, printed materials) need to align with the intent of the funding stream and provide benefit to the community at large.
