Kern COG, Mono and Inyo County LTC, and SANBAG were awarded a grant for the Eastern Sierra Highway 14/58/395 Corridor Enhancement Plan. This plan will complete some of the groundwork to begin the Blueprint Planning process in Eastern California for areas along US 395. Kern COG, Mono, and Inyo County LTC's were also awarded grant funding for the Eastern Central California Blueprint Plan. The goal of regional blueprint planning is to help the regions develop better land use and transportation patterns and help State agencies make better infrastructure investment decisions that support the Blueprint Plan. To find out more about the Eastern California Corridor Enhancement and the Blueprint planning transportation planning grants and their visioning processes, follow the corresponding link.

On March 11, 2009, the Caltrans Division of Mass Transportation released a Call for Projects for the following Federal Transit Administration grant programs for Fiscal Year 2009:
Safe Routes to School Grants Caltrans administers funding for Safe Routes to School projects through two separate and distinct programs: the state-legislated Program (SR2S) and the federally-legislated Program (SRTS). Both are competitive reimbursement programs that seek the same goal of increasing the number of children who walk or bicycle to school but differ in some important respects. On January 15, 2009, the Caltrans Division of Mass Transportation released a Call for Projects for Cycle 8 of SR2S projects. The application deadline is April 15, 2009.
Funds are available
from Caltrans for Federal Safe Routes to School (SRTS) projects
(SRTS Cycle 2). These funds are not to be confused with the
State Legislated Safe Routes to School (SR2S) funds.
