Bloomberg Initiative for Cycling Infrastructure offers cities grants, mentorship and knowledge sharing

NEWS IN BRIEF: The Bloomberg Initiative for Cycling Infrastructure is offering cities across the world to apply for grants, mentorship and knowledge sharing.

The initiative is under the umbrella of Bloomberg Philanthropies and stems from Mike Bloomberg’s time as Mayor of New York City when significant progress was made on starting to transform streets to more people-friendly places.

...I'm sorry to disrupt you while you're reading this article, but without messages like this, IrishCycle.com's reader-funded journalism won't survive. With nearly 1/2 million views and 300k readers so-far this year, it's not just people who are dedicated to cycling that this website reaches. However, the number of subscribers is around 0.6% of readers. While having a large gap between readers/subscribers is standard for non-paywall reader-supported journalism, IrishCycle's journalism needs more support. Don't delay, support monthly or yearly today. Now, back to the article...

The winning cities will receive grants of $400k USD to $1M USD for ambitious cycling infrastructure projects; technical assistance from the Global Designing Cities Initiative; training for city leaders on data collection, resident engagement and other industry best practices; and connecting cities with a global network of peers.

The deadline to apply is February 3, 2023 and details can be found at bloombergcities.jhu.edu.


...That's the end of the article. Keep scrolling if you want to the comments, but IrishCycle.com *NEEDS* readers like you to keep it that way. It only requires a small percentage of readers to give a bit each month or every year to keep IrishCycle.com's journalism open to all. Thank you.
