Green Municipal Fund – Safe and Active School Routes │ Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM)

Projects must consist of a capital investment (i.e., constructing, altering or improving physical assets) and may additionally include policy measures (e.g., speed limit changes) and educational strategies. Policy measures and educational strategies alone are not eligible for funding. Eligible projects may include:

• Quick-build installations for active transportation, such as bollards, planters, paint, concrete surfboards and other removable treatments arranged to pilot new pathways, crosswalks, curb bump-outs, sidewalks, bicycle lanes, speed deterrents, etc.
• New or improved infrastructure for active transportation, such as separated bicycle lanes, more pedestrian-friendly intersections, pathways, crosswalks and connections to active transportation networks and transit networks.
• Improved active transportation infrastructure, including design considerations in which there may be no net gain in kilometres of infrastructure, but include improvements in the quality of infrastructure that encourage greater usage.
• New or improved design and safety features and facilities that promote active transportation, such as storage facilities, lighting, greenery, shade, benches, crosswalks, speed bumps, fences, signage and automated speed enforcement.
