In the recent federal transportation bill, SAFETEA-LU, the new Safe Routes to School was funded.
The program is intended to fund both education for school children in how to safely walk and bicycle (10%-30% of the total funding) and infrastructure--better sidewalks, better bike lanes, better crosswalks, etc., within 2 miles of schools. The program will include a Safe Routes to School coordinator in each state DOT. Presumably local jurisdictions will be able to apply for Safe Routes to School grants on a competitive basis. So how much will Missouri receive each year? 2005: $1.0 millionSource: AASHTO State-by-State Apportionment Tables (Excel file) |
