Applications for two different programs due May 31

April 16, 2019

Dear Safe Routes to School friends,

We are pleased to open the solicitation for Safe Routes to School Non-infrastructure grants and the Project Identification Program! The solicitation will run through May 31, 2019. Please find application materials on our website.

• The ODOT Safe Routes to School Non-infrastructure grants provides funds to communities to provide education and encouragement programs that address barriers to students walking and biking to school.
• The ODOT Safe Routes to School Project Identification Program helps schools and communities develop a local plan that identifies infrastructure projects and non-infrastructure programs that address barriers to students walking and biking to school.

We have two more in-person workshops coming up so you can learn more about how to apply. Anyone can also access the virtual workshop to learn more. The workshop covers SRTS Non-infrastructure grant and Infrastructure grant specifics including eligibility, proposal selection process, match requirements and proposal development tips. Target audiences include representatives from cities, counties, tribes, transit districts and public schools.

See the flyer or more information on these upcoming workshops:

• April 18, Eugene - 3 p.m. - 4:30 p.m., Cesar Chavez Elementary School Library, 1510 W 14th Ave.
• April 26, Portland - 1 p.m. - 3 p.m., ODOT Office Room A/B, 123 NW Flanders St.
