The objective of the LocalMotion Fund is to accelerate the development of capital projects that make communities greener, healthier and more active and accessible places in which to live. The program supports projects that:
- reduce community greenhouse gas emissions, with an emphasis on getting people out of their cars;
- advance the ActNow BC principle of being physically active; and,
- build seniors-friendly and disability-friendly communities.
LocalMotion provides $40 million, over four years, for capital projects that build bike paths, walkways and greenways and build seniors-friendly and disability-friendly communities.
Projects are cost-shared 50/50 with local governments (municipalities and regional districts). The maximum provincial funding for a local government is $1 million per year.
