TAMC approves bicycle and pedestrian safety program

The Transportation Agency for Monterey County Board of Directors approved and authorized the Agency to execute a contract with Ecology Action to expand bicycle and pedestrian safety education in Monterey County at their last meeting on Wednesday, April 25 in Salinas. All 2^nd graders and 5^th graders in the Salinas Valley, Seaside and Marina will receive pedestrian and bicycle safety education within the next 2 years through this contract. The focused outreach in each of these communities compliments the Monterey County Health Department’s Via Salinas Valley education and the Seaside & Marina Safe Walking & Biking to School planning grant. As a result, educators will be able to present safety training in over 107 classrooms per year and there will be additional outreach to parents and the surrounding community. Measure X was the 3/8 of a cent sales tax approved by voters in November of 2016. 60% of the funds are dedicated to local streets and roads projects, while 40% is dedicated to regional projects. The Safe Routes to School Program is funded through the “Mobility for All” program in the regional projects.
