September 2023 International Walk and Roll to School DayOctober 4, 2023Walking, scooting or biking to school is a great way to spend time with your family, reduce emissions and improve air quality, and get in some physical activity. There are so many benefits for children who walk and roll to school including increased school performance and better health.Wednesday, October 4, 2023 is International Walk & Roll to school day. If you’re interested in participating in this international event, you don’t have to do it alone! In North Natomas, JIBE is organizing multiple events. Civic Thread is working with a number of schools in Sacramento. Or you can connect with other school families to start a walking school bus or bike train.  Grant News! The vast majority of the City’s work to plan and improve our transportation networks are funded through competitive grants. We’re happy to share that we were recently notified that we won 3 Sustainable Transportation Planning grants!Howe Avenue: Folsom Boulevard to Fair Oaks Boulevard: This corridor is in the Vision Zero Top 10 corridors (those with the highest number of severe injuries and fatalities) and represents an important connection to Sacramento State University. In addition to safety improvement needs, there are gaps in the active transportation infrastructure and opportunities to connect to the American River Parkway.
Norwood Avenue: Main Avenue to Arcade Creek: This north-south corridor connects the Robla area south of I-80 and does not have basic transportation infrastructure, like sidewalks. A previous idea for a portion of this corridor is ranked high in the Transportation Priorities Plan and this is an opportunity to improve mobility in North Sacramento and provide connections to the planned Arcade Creek trail.
Climate Adaptation Plan for Transportation Infrastructure: The City teamed up with SacRT to apply for this grant opportunity to conduct a multi-hazard risk assessment of the City of Sacramento and SacRT’s transportation systems related to climate change, generate possible adaptation solutions, create a list of projects using a multi-criteria analysis, and develop an implementation plan for integrating climate change adaptation into the capital improvement process.
It takes some time to complete agreements with Caltrans and then bring on consultants to support staff. Look for more information on these efforts in Spring-Summer 2024.
In other grant news, we submitted the Marysville Vision Zero safety project to the federal Safe Streets and Roads for All grant program earlier this summer. We are currently working on submitting a grant application for Reconnecting Old North Sacramento to the Reconnecting Communities and Neighborhoods grant program, due on September 28, 2023.
Vision Zero UpdateVision Zero is a traffic safety philosophy that rejects the notion that traffic crashes are simply “accidents,” but instead preventable incidents that can and must be systematically addressed. Through Vision Zero, the City of Sacramento is committed to working together to create safer streets. We’ve made significant progress on investing in transportation safety and we’ve outlined our progress in our Summer 2023 Vision Zero Update available on our Vision Zero webpage.
