Frequently Asked Questions

What grants are available for cycling?

Cycling grants fund protected bike lanes, trails and pump tracks, bike parking, youth and adult cycling education, and advocacy for better bike networks. PeopleForBikes awards community grants for projects that make bicycling better, and federal transportation programs and state and local agencies fund larger infrastructure and connectivity projects.

Who funds cycling and bike infrastructure?

PeopleForBikes is a leading source of community-scale cycling grants for nonprofits and local governments. Larger bike infrastructure is often funded through federal transportation programs and state departments of transportation, while private foundations, bicycle-industry programs, and community foundations support trails, education, and advocacy.

Can nonprofits and local governments both apply?

Yes. Programs like the PeopleForBikes community grant are open to nonprofit organizations, including those using a fiscal sponsor, as well as local, state, and federal agencies working locally and some community-oriented small businesses. Eligibility varies by program, so applicants should confirm the specific requirements and any matching-fund expectations.
