Road safety schemes in Torfaen have received a £665,000 cash boost from the Welsh Assembly Government.
Schemes in Ponthir, Trevethin and Cwmbran will benefit from a share of the funding to improve pedestrian safety.
The money will be spent on improving roads and pavements, providing crossings and encouraging walking and cycling.
Support for this year's schemes included Communities First in Trevethin for improvements along Churchwood Path between St Cadocs Church and Pontypool, and Ponthir Community Council for developing a community access plan which combines travel plans for both the community and school.
Local authorities are invited each year to bid for transport grants to fund projects.
And this year, Torfaen received the second highest award in Wales.
Councillor John Cunningham, Executive Member for Operational Services, said: "I am delighted with the news. The money will provide important funding for walking and cycling projects. This will contribute to a healthier Torfaen by making walking and cycling a greener and safer option for local communities."
Last year, areas £549,000 of Assembly cash was granted for similar projects around Greenmeadow Primary School, Crownbridge School, Penygarn Primary School and Griffithstown Primary School.
