Minnesota communities and schools seeking to develop safer places for students to walk and bicycle can apply for $8 million in grant opportunities through the Minnesota Department of Transportation’s Safe Routes to School program.
Letters of intent for infrastructure grants are due by Oct. 29.
Planning assistance grants are available to help engage stakeholders, analyze existing data and prioritize strategies to make it safer and easier for students to walk and bicycle to school and in daily life. “Boost” grants support existing Safe Routes to School work and state infrastructure grants can fund projects that create safer streets for students to walk and bicycle.
