The Legend Elementary School and Liberty Middle School campus in Newark is separated from a neighborhood directly to the east by a waterway. This means students living in this neighborhood needed to walk almost two-thirds of a mile out of their way to get to the school. In 2012, ODOT awarded funds to Newark to build a pedestrian bridge to create a safe pedestrian walkway for students. Construction is scheduled to begin in late 2016.

The Athens City Schools STP was completed in 2009. Since then, they have been awarded three SRTS grants for infrastructure projects, as well as non-infrastructure program funding. Located in southeast Ohio’s Appalachian region, Athens’ hilly terrain has resulted in several unique infrastructure projects.
