Apply for Funding...
Ohio makes $4 million available each year to assist communities in improving safety for students to walk or bicycle to school. Funding is available for a variety of activities including Engineering, Education, Encouragement, Enforcement Evaluation and Equity.  

Prior to requesting infrastructure or non-infrastructure funds, communities are required to develop a school travel plan that address the most effective strategies to improve safety in those communities.

Decision-making is always difficult. Every project submitted for funding was identified as a need in the approved school travel plan.

Projects are competitively selected based on percentage of students expected to benefit, traffic speed, crash rate, economic status and delivery of past ODOT projects. 

Assistance is available for planning activities. Please click on Develop Your SRTS Program in the right-column menu to learn more about how to get started.
