Summary
This bill boosts federal support for walking and biking near schools by creating a 95% federal match for Safe Routes to School projects when a State employs a Safe Routes to School coordinator. It aims to encourage States to hire coordinators who plan and manage these projects.
Show full summary
- Families and children: Sidewalks, crosswalks, and bike lanes near schools become easier to finance, which can make walking and biking to school more feasible and safer.
- State governments: States that hire a Safe Routes to School coordinator receive a 95% federal share for eligible projects, reducing state and local contributions to about 5%.
- Local governments and school districts: Local sponsors face much lower outlays for eligible projects, making infrastructure improvements more affordable.
- Program administration: The bill does not change which projects are eligible, existing funding levels, or program structure; it only changes the federal cost share when a coordinator is employed.

More federal help for school routes
This bill would raise the federal share to 95% for Safe Routes to School projects if a state employs a Safe Routes to School coordinator. States, cities, and schools would cover the remaining 5%. It would apply only to projects eligible under the program and would override other federal share rules in title 23. If enacted, it would take effect upon enactment.
