ATP Cycle 3 Technical Assistance
To support the development of Cycle 3 projects, staff compiled multiple sources of data into one convenient mapping site to help project sponsors analyze different potential project locations for their ability to demonstrate strong performance benefits under the criteria of increasing biking and walking (35 points/100 points) and reducing pedestrian and bicyclist collisions (25 points/100 points). Additionally, the mapping site includes the areas qualifying as Disadvantaged Communities as defined by the State ATP Guidelines and the 2016 MTP/SCS.

Staff also reviewed 20 draft State ATP applications to provide comments on how to strengthen the narrative and maximize points earned within the scoring rubrics.
Additional Cycle 3 Application Resources
The SACOG Info Center contains a wealth of information to support State ATP applications from the Sacramento region. SACOG compiled census data to help project sponsors discuss the existing and potential users in project areas. Project sponsors can also use the Small Area SACOG MTP/SCS Forecast Tool to discuss travel model projections for project areas. Additional information and tools to support your State ATP application can be found in our Helpful Links document.
