Application and Guidance

The Safe Routes To School (SRTS) program is designed to fund comprehensive programs that include the 5 E’s (Education, Encouragement, Enforcement, Evaluation, and Engineering) throughout Georgia to encourage and enable more children to walk and bike to school safely.  The funds are intended to start a SRTS program in communities and assist community members in sustaining successful SRTS programs.
