Sustainable Transportation Equity Project: Projects in Action

About
The Sustainable Transportation Equity Project (STEP) is a pilot project first introduced in FY 2019-20. STEP funds community-based solutions to address transportation inequities and facilitate socioeconomic benefits in low-income and disadvantaged communities. The pilot is designed to help overcome barriers identified in CARB’s SB 350 Guidance Document and address key challenges outlined in CARB’s 2018 SB 150 Progress Report.
STEP is piloting an approach to Low Carbon Transportation funding that aims to 1) address community residents’ transportation needs, 2) increase access to key destinations (such as schools, grocery stores, workplaces, daycare facilities, community centers, medical facilities), and 3) reduce GHG emissions. STEP provides an opportunity for communities that are prepared for larger-scale investments by funding multiple different types of clean transportation and supporting projects within a single community. STEP has the flexibility to fund many different types of capital, operations, planning, and capacity building projects to help meet the needs of each community within that community’s context.
