In July 2005, the US Congress created the Federal SRTS Program by passing the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act--A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) transportation bill. Under SAFETEA-LU, the Federal SRTS Program was managed and administered by each state Department of Transportation (DOT), with funding allotted annually to each state from FHWA in conjunction with Federal-aid highway apportionments.
Then in July 2012, Congress passed a new transportation bill: Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21). Starting in October 2012, Safe Routes to School (SRTS) activities were eligible to compete for funding alongside other programs, including the Transportation Enhancements program and Recreational Trails program, as part of a new program called Transportation Alternatives (TAP). The SRTS funding under the SAFETEA-LU legislation can continue to be awarded as long as funds remain.
Many SRTS projects originally eligible under SAFETEA-LU are also eligible under TAP. Such projects include: Safe Routes to School coordinators; Infrastructure projects in the vicinity of schools that improve students' ability to walk and bicycle to school such as sidewalks and traffic calming countermeasures; and non-infrastructure projects that encourage walking and bicycling to school, enforce traffic in the vicinity of schools, and educate students and drivers on bicycle and pedestrian safety.
The table below provides state-specific apportionment information related to funding provided through the SAFETEA-LU transportation legislation. (Please note: the National Center updates this table as necessary.)
