Bill Summary
A BILL To amend title 23, United States Code, to provide for a reduced Federal share for a State that employs a safe routes to school coordinator.
AI Summary
This bill proposes an amendment to federal transportation law that incentivizes states to employ a Safe Routes to School (SRTS) coordinator by offering a higher federal funding match for transportation projects. Specifically, the bill modifies existing law to state that if a state hires a dedicated coordinator for Safe Routes to School programs, the federal government will cover 95% of the costs for eligible projects, which is higher than the standard federal funding match. Safe Routes to School is a program designed to help children walk and bike to school safely by improving infrastructure, conducting education programs, and promoting safer walking and cycling conditions. By providing a financial incentive for states to have a dedicated SRTS coordinator, the bill aims to encourage more comprehensive and focused efforts to improve children's transportation safety and active transportation opportunities.
