The primary goal of this session is to help people understand the tools and options in Oregon for funding active transportation infrastructure at the local level. I will provide an overview of the different kinds of funding we have used over the years to build walking and biking infrastructure in Eugene and ask audience members what has worked in their communities. I will also show examples of what we have constructed with this funding and talk about the pros/cons of different kinds of funding and what the different fundign types can and cannot be used for. I would like to recruit two to three staff from other cities to also speak during the session but have not done that yet. Lastly, I would also like to push the envelop and suggest some additional funding sources that haven't been developed yet or used to their full potential. For example, can STIF funds be used to build better and safer pedestrian connections to bus stops?
