Funding

While people and government agencies are typically supportive of bicycle, pedestrian and trail projects, putting together adequate funding to implement a project can be a challenge. Alta has grant-writing specialists on staff, and we have assisted jurisdictions in acquiring more than $50 million in grant funding. We’ve worked with wide-ranging combinations of local, state and federal tax funding; government and foundation grants; private donations; and just about any other funding source you can imagine. That experience lets us help our clients identify and access the optimal resources to get their projects built. And our history of successful projects is an asset when it comes to applying for discretionary funds—teaming with Alta carries weight for your project.
