Bill Summary

The Commissioner of Education, in consultation with the Commissioner of Transportation, is required to select up to 10 public schools to participate in the program each year.

As part of the application to participate in the program, a public school is required to provide information about the need for creative arts activities in the school and documentation certifying that the municipality in which the school district is located has approved the school to participate in the pilot program. Six months following the completion of the pilot program, the Commissioner of Transportation and the Commissioner of Education are to submit a report evaluating the success of the pilot program.
AI Summary
This bill requires the Commissioner of Transportation, in consultation with the Commissioner of Education, to establish a five-year creative crosswalks pilot program. The program aims to install safe, cost-efficient, and low-maintenance painted crosswalks, known as "creative crosswalks," designed by public school students using a combination of colors, textures, and scoring patterns to improve the visibility and beautify existing marked crosswalks, while also encouraging public school students to engage in creative arts. The bill outlines the application process for public schools to participate in the program, the selection criteria for participating schools, and the process for selecting student-designed crosswalks to be installed. The bill also requires a report evaluating the success of the pilot program to be submitted to the Governor and the Legislature.
