The Equity-Based Transportation Mobility (EBTM) Program provides funding for mobility projects in historically disadvantaged communities where access to safe transportation options is limited. Projects address transportation challenges in neighborhoods where people might not own a car, where there is poverty, where children walk or ride bicycles to school, where people ride public transportation, where bus stops are difficult for people to access, where there is a history of vehicle crashes with people walking and riding bicycles, and/or where it is difficult for people to cross the street.
Projects can include the construction or installation of sidewalks, ADA ramps, curb and gutter, streetlights, traffic calming, HAWK pedestrian crossings, traffic signals, bicycle facilities, and trees. Green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) also may be considered.
Program Benefits
EBTM projects will make it safer and more comfortable for people of all ages and abilities to walk or ride a bicycle, drive a wheelchair or e-scooter, or use transit to get to their important destinations such as parks, schools, employment, and shopping.
Program Area
The EBTM Program works in the same areas of Phoenix as the Transportation 2050 (T2050) Program, of which there are twelve throughout Phoenix. You can find out more about these areas at www.phoenix.gov/streets/mobility.
