Safe Routes to School Boost grants
Safe Routes to School Boost grants are intended to help boost Safe Routes to School efforts. Through these grant awards, we'll support communities with existing Safe Routes to School (SRTS) plans, or other comprehensive SRTS approaches, in advancing non-infrastructure strategies for schools that support making it safe, easy and fun for students to walk and bicycle to school.
Solicitation is now closed until Fall 2025
