Community Planning Grants
Between 2008 and 2010 the BCRPA and UBCM provided BEAT grants to 24 local governments to facilitate the creation of active transportation plans or assessments. A video has been created showcasing the successes of three of these communities, offering inspiration to others to create better planned, more inviting environments for walking, cycling or rolling.

Aboriginal Community Planning Grants
Fifteen aboriginal communities were awarded grants to improve the health and well-being of residents by supporting community planning for activities that will increase active transportation through improvements in the built environment. Many of the projects focused on trail improvements which link the residential, commercial and natural areas of the community.
