AB 2168 strengthens California’s Active Transportation Program by sharpening how projects are chosen, funded, and delivered, moving the program closer to its core purpose: getting more people safely walking, biking, and accessing transit. The bill rewards projects that meaningfully connect people to public transportation, and encourages larger, network-level improvements by aligning additional state transportation funds.

It also strengthens accountability measures, including penalties for agencies that fail to deliver projects on time, helping ensure that limited funds translate into real, on-the-ground improvements. At its heart, AB 2168 is about making the ATP more strategic, more equitable, and more effective at building the connected, low-stress transportation networks Californians need.
