The Illinois SRTS Program supports projects and
programs that enable and encourage walking and bicycling to and
from school. The program applies to schools serving grades Kindergarten through
8th grade.
Safe Routes to School awards have been announced. The list of funded projects
is linked on the left side of this page. The Committee was impressed by
the many wonderful projects that were submitted. With almost 300
applications submitted and 1044 projects requesting $77.7 million, the process
of scoring each project was intense.
Congratulations to those schools, communities and non-profit organizations that
will receive Safe Routes to School funding from the 2007 application cycle.
Due to the large number of projects and the limited funding available, we were
only able to fund a small number of projects. If you do not see your
project on the list, I encourage you to apply again this year.
