The :active CSS pseudo-class represents an element (such as a button) that is being activated by the user. When using a mouse, "activation" typically starts when the user presses down the primary mouse button.
The :active pseudo-class is commonly used on and elements. Other common targets of this pseudo-class include elements that are contained in an activated element, and form elements that are being activated through their associated .
Note: On systems with multi-button mice, CSS specifies that the :active pseudo-class must only apply to the primary button; on right-handed mice, this is typically the leftmost button.

The Active Transportation (AT) Program provides grants and technical assistance to make walking, biking and rolling better. Our program aims to increase the number of people walking and biking to destinations.
Quick-build / demonstration project technical assistance will support communities with existing Active Transportation plans, or other active transportation approaches, in undertaking the process to plan, design and implement a demonstration project in their community.
One problem with active learning is that it tends to be siloed, with math taught in one department, chemistry in another, English in a different building. It tends to keep topics boring, and lacking real-world context.
The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is developing a comprehensive Statewide Active Transportation Plan to establish a unified vision for the identification and implementation of strategic active transportation priorities and policies across Texas through 2050.
An active transportation plan provides recommendations for improving conditions for bicycling, walking, rolling, or other modes that are typically human-powered, non-motorized transportation, but may also include smaller electric-powered micromobility options such as e-scooters and e-bikes.
If you have any general questions or concerns regarding the Statewide Active Transportation Plan or the virtual public meeting or in-person open houses, please contact the Statewide Active Transportation Plan project manager, at bik...@txdot.gov or 800-671-9854.
The Active Transportation Infrastructure Investment Program (ATIIP) is a new competitive grant program created by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to construct projects to provide safe and connected active transportation facilities in active transportation networks or active transportation spines.
ATIIP projects will help improve the safety, efficiency, and reliability of active transportation networks and communities; improve connectivity between active transportation modes and public transportation; enhance the resiliency of on- and off-road active transportation infrastructure; help protect the environment; and improve quality of life in disadvantaged communities through the delivery of connected active transportation networks and expanded mobility opportunities.
As part of the program, FHWA will award competitive grants to help communities plan, design, and construct safe and connected active transportation networks such as sidewalks, bikeways, and trails that connect destinations such as schools, workplaces, residences, businesses, recreation areas, and medical facilities within a community or metropolitan region.
Grants will also be provided for projects used for trails, pedestrian facilities, bikeways, and other routes that serve as backbones to connect two or more communities, metropolitan regions, or states.
ATIIP also provides an opportunity for eligible organizations to enhance their overall transportation network by integrating active transportation facilities with transit services, where available, to improve access to public transportation.
FHWA will award Planning and Design grants for eligible applicants to develop plans for active transportation networks and active transportation spines. Projects seeking Planning and Design grants must have planning and design costs of at least $100,000 to be eligible.
FHWA will award Construction grants to eligible applicants to construct projects to provide safe and connected active transportation facilities in an active transportation network or active transportation spine. Projects seeking Construction grants must have total costs of at least $15 million to be eligible.
The Federal share of the cost of an eligible project carried out using an ATIIP grant shall not exceed 80 percent of the total project cost. However, for eligible projects serving communities with a poverty rate of over 40 percent based on the majority of census tracts served by the eligible project, the Federal share may increase up to 100 percent of the total project cost.
The 2024 Active Citizens Conference was Saturday, February 24 centered on the theme Transformation. Thank you for all who attended. Details about the 2025 conference will be posted in the fall.
Join students from across the country to learn about effective community engagement and contributing to positive social change. Students, faculty/staff, and community leaders facilitate active-learning workshops on a range of civic skills, frameworks, and resources. View the 2024 schedule of workshops.
The Active Transportation Infrastructure Investment Program (ATIIP) is a new competitive grant program created by Section 11529 of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (enacted as the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (Pub. L. 117-58) to construct projects to provide safe and connected active transportation facilities in active transportation networks or active transportation spines.
FHWA will award Construction grants to eligible applicants to construct projects to provide safe and connected active transportation facilities in an active transportation network or active transportation spine. Projects seeking Construction grants must have total costs of at least $15 million to be eligible (BIL 11529(l)(6)(B)(i)).
Both types of grants can go towards planning, designing, and constructing active transportation networks and active transportation spines. Active transportation networks are active transportation facilities that connect between destinations within a community or metropolitan region, including schools, workplaces, residences, businesses, recreation areas, medical facilities, and other community areas (BIL 11529(l)(2)). Active transportation spines are active transportation facilities that connect between communities, metropolitan regions, or States (BIL 11529(l)(3)).
Pursuant to section 11529(d)(1) of BIL, FHWA will provide at least 30% of ATIIP funding to projects that construct active transportation networks, and at least 30% of ATIIP funding to projects that construct active transportation spines.
The Federal share of the cost of an eligible project carried out using an ATIIP grant shall not exceed 80 percent of the total project cost (BIL 11529(f)(1)). For eligible projects serving communities with a poverty rate of over 40 percent based on the majority of census tracts served by the eligible project, however, the Secretary may increase the Federal share of the cost of the eligible project up to 100 percent of the total project cost (BIL 11529(f)(2)).
As part of our plan to make it easier to get around, Metro is working to advance active transportation and provide more travel options throughout the county. Active transportation refers to human-powered methods of travel, such as walking, bicycling or rolling to get from one place to another. Updating our 2016 Active Transportation Strategic Plan (ATSP) will further our mission of providing a world-class transportation system, focusing specifically on our regional active transportation network and first/last mile connectivity to transit. The revised plan will allow Metro to better plan for the most effective active transportation improvements across LA County.
Active transportation is human-powered mobility, such as biking or walking. Active transportation directly replaces motor vehicle miles traveled, so these modes are effective at reducing vehicle emissions, bridging the first- and last-mile gap, conserving fuel, and improving individual and public health. Bicycles, electric bikes, wheelchairs, scooters, skateboards, and even walking are all considered active transportation.
Programs that offer bike- or scooter-sharing can expand the benefits of active transportation to even more people, including those that may not otherwise have access to their own bike or scooter. Local governments and partners can implement sharing programs for either manual or electric options to increase access, ridership, and public comfort and awareness for these energy-efficient modes. These programs can be thought of as extensions of public transit and can provide an effective first-mile last-mile solution for residents. Education programs have also been shown to improve ridership by teaching riders how to ride safely and how to repair and maintain their bicycles.
Active transportation requires a dedicated network of sidewalks, bike lanes, bike paths, overpasses, crosswalks, and bike racks to ensure people can get where they need to go safely and efficiently. Transportation planners and Public Works can support active transportation by developing infrastructure that can support users' safety and convenience including dedicated and protected bike lanes and sufficient lighting along routes for evening riders. Employers can provide building upgrades like bike racks, locker rooms, or showers, and bicycle maintenance facilities to make it easier for employees to commute by active transportation. Additionally, cycling infrastructure can make cities more equitable because it can be a lower cost mode of transportation available to a broader range of residents. Analysis from CityLab showed that while all income categories have bike commuters, bike-riding skews toward lower-income households on average.
