<strong>Pomona</strong> <strong>Active</strong> <strong>Transportation</strong> <strong>Plan</strong><br />

November 2012<br />

Chapter 7 – Funding and Implementation<br />

7. Funding and Implementation<br />

With approximately three miles <strong>of</strong> bicycle facilities in the <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Pomona</strong>, recent implementation <strong>of</strong><br />

bicycle facilities has been limited. As the currently planned heavy infrastructure projects come under<br />

construction, the <strong>City</strong> should use opportunities such as roadway repaving or utility work to implement<br />

network segments that require limited changes or consist <strong>of</strong> “sign and paint only.” These features can be<br />

implemented relatively rapidly at low cost and greatly expand the network, which would both facilitate<br />

and encourage increased cycling in the <strong>City</strong>. This approach allows the <strong>City</strong> to implement more <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Plan</strong><br />

at a quicker pace, with the intent <strong>of</strong> effectively providing alternative mobility choices.<br />

Numerous funding sources are potentially available at the federal, state, regional, county, and local levels<br />

for the <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Pomona</strong> to implement the projects and programs in the <strong>Active</strong> <strong>Transportation</strong> <strong>Plan</strong>. Below<br />

is a description <strong>of</strong> the most promising funding programs available for the proposed projects at the<br />

federal, state, MPO and county levels. Most <strong>of</strong> these sources are highly competitive and require the<br />

preparation <strong>of</strong> extensive applications.<br />
