Safe Routes 2 School

There is wonderful news for schools and communities: we have funds available for the 20% match for Safe Routes to School projects in Michigan. We have been approved for up to $750,000 of toll credits for fiscal year 2013! These state funds can be used to match both infrastructure and noninfrastructure SRTS grants. As with all of our grants, this is a competitive process, and funds will be allocated to solid projects. If your school and community are working on a Safe Routes to School project, call one of our representatives as soon as possible to discuss your plans.

The Dexter and Manchester School Districts are accepting applications for a shared, part-time Safe Routes to School Coordinator, contracted through the Chelsea-Area Wellness Foundation.  Read more here...
