California Safe Routes to School is administered by Caltrans and encourages walking and bicycling to and from school in grades K through 12 by increasing safety and decreasing traffic congestion around schools. Caltrans administers both a State and a Federal funding program.

Funds may be used for infrastructure improvements (capital improvements) and/or non-infrastructure improvements (e.g. education and enforcement) projects.

The purpose of the workshop is to explain what comprehensive Safe Routes to School programs are, and how to prepare a successful grant application.
Topics will include the funding application process, suggested strategies, and example projects.

If you have any questions, please contact Dale Benson at (213) 897-2934.
