Bill Summary
Requiring a county board of education each year to prepare and post to the county's website a report that identifies pathways that public school students may use to travel to school using only safe alternative routes under certain circumstances; requiring the governing body of a county each year to review a certain report and construct any sidewalks and crosswalks necessary to create safe alternative routes for public school students under certain circumstances; etc.
AI Summary
This bill requires each county board of education in Maryland to prepare and publish an annual report identifying areas where public school students are ineligible for transportation services due to the distance between their residence and school, and the pathways they could use to travel to school using only safe alternative routes, such as roads with sidewalks and crosswalks, foot paths, or bike paths. The governing body of each county is then required to review this report and construct any necessary sidewalks and crosswalks to create these safe alternative routes for students. If the county needs to alter a road not under its jurisdiction to do so, it must develop a plan and make reasonable efforts to execute it with the entity or person that controls the road.
