Dear Safe Routes to School enthusiast,
Mark your calendar! A Safe Routes to School workshop is occurring near you soon (see below). We want you to be prepared for the upcoming Competitive Construction Grant and Planning Assistance Programs’ application solicitation. Feel free to share the workshop flyer with those you think may be interested.
At the workshops, ODOT staff will present a program overview and answer questions about this funding and resource opportunity. The presentation will cover things like timeline, eligibility, proposal selection process and priorities, match requirements, and proposal development tips. Who should attend? Representatives from cities, counties, tribes, transit agencies, and public schools.
