Who can apply for funding?
Schools, non-profit organizations, state, city and counties can apply for SR2S funds to increase mobility among school children within a 2 mile radius of K-8 Grade schools. Infrastructure projects must be sponsored by the agency within whose jurisdiction they lie. SR2S funds are available for a variety of projects including infrastructure improvements, education, and enforcement that improve the safety of children when bicycling and walking to and from school. The funding is split between infrastructure (70-90 percent) to (10-30 percent) for education and enforcement. SR2S funding does not require a local match. The sponsor pays the cost of the project and submits a reimbursement request to the Idaho Transportation Department. Sponsors must budget for these costs.
