RAISE Grant Application - April 2022

In April of 2022, the Ada County Highway Diststrict (ACHD) submitted a RAISE Grant application to the U.S. Department of Transportation for for the Access to Opportunity Planning Project.
ACHD believes that the active transportation projects within the Access to Opportunity Planning Project grant application will meet the goals of the RAISE program by eliminating transportation barriers, and truly create access to new opportunities for residents living within three historically disadvantaged communities in Ada County.
If approved, the projects for each of the 12 identified locations would provide the citizens living and working in these disadvantaged communities the opportunity to use active transportation options to gain new access to employment, schools, healthcare, daycare, healthy food, shopping, and recreation. Additionally, it would help to create united communities.

The application and supporting materials are available below.
