The Central Workshop for the 2027 Active Transportation Program focused on clarifying guidelines and addressing action items.

Numerous guideline sections were clarified, updated, or deleted across multiple areas, including Funding Restrictions, Title VI Requirements, Program Schedule, Funding and Program Cycle, Eligibility, Project Application, Project Selection Process, and Project Delivery.
