Career Success Allowance Program
The Mountain View Public Library is making it easier for adult learners to expand their knowledge through new programs. The Library recently launched the Career Success Allowance Program, which provides monetary support for adult students who are earning their high school diploma through the Career Online High School.
Through the allowance program, active COHS students can qualify to receive a monthly cash allowance as they earn their accredited high school diploma and credentialed career certificate. Students who meet progress parameters may receive up to $720 per month while in the COHS program for up to 18 months. This unrestricted funding can be used to provide some income and child care to free up time for school.
To qualify for the Career Success Allowance Program, participants must be:
- Age 19 and older.
- A Mountain View resident.
- Currently enrolled in the Library’s Career Online High School program or completed the pre-requisite courses.
Learning is self-paced, and students are expected to spend approximately 10 hours
per week on coursework. In September 2023, the City Council approved funding for the allowance program as part of the City of Mountain View’s workforce development and small business assistance initiatives. Funding is available for up to 10 students. For more information, visit MountainView.gov/CSAP.

SR-82 (El Camino Real) Pavement Rehabilitation and ADA Improvements Project Status
 The Caltrans El Camino Real Pavement Rehabilitation and ADA Improvements Project is underway.
Project updates include:
- Early September 2024, Caltrans began paving work in Palo Alto and will be working southbound toward State Route-237 in Mountain View. ADA improvements have been installed and will be completed before paving work begins.
- As work is completed, no parking signs will be posted along the project location and vehicles will no longer be permitted to park along the route.
- During construction, the public will have limited and/or restricted access to sidewalks, curb ramps and several driveways while this work is taking place. We encourage businesses to plan alternate entry routes accordingly.
- View the SR-82/ECR Flyer to learn more about the Caltrans project.
Hours of Activity:
