Andrew Giambrone reports that the District Department of Transportation is offering funding for nonprofit groups to fund car-free street events in the District as part of its Vision Zero initiative.

"Any grant proposals should not request more than $65,000 and are due on April 19, DDOT says. The agency expects to select grantees in early May, and the funds must be spent by the end of the current fiscal year (September 30)," according to Giambrone.
