Dear Safe Routes to School enthusiasts and interested parties,

We wanted to remind you of these fast-approaching dates for workshops and a webinar. Please help us spread the word, and we hope to see you soon. (More info on the program is available on our website - scroll down to "Infrastructure Program.)

What are these workshops?
These Competitive Program Outreach workshops will help you understand the application process for the new Safe Routes to School Infrastructure program. Staff members will present an overview and answer questions about this new opportunity. The presentation will cover SRTS Infrastructure Program specifics including timeline, eligibility, proposal selection process, match requirements, and proposal development tips. The target audiences include city, county, tribes, transit district staff, and public school representatives. All workshops are open to the public. See the workshop flyer (PDF) for more information.
