The New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) 2024 Safe Routes to School (SRTS) grant program is open. The application deadline is November 17, 2023.
SRTS grants are available for infrastructure projects that encourage and enable students to walk and bike safely to school. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) expanded the program to include high schools for the first time. Proposed infrastructure improvements must be within a two-mile radius of a K-12 school. The program is open to municipalities, counties, schools, and school districts.
Pre-Application Meetings are MANDATORY. This meeting ensures that the project is a good fit for the program. Pre-Application Meetings will be held from July 31, 2023, to September 29, 2023. Learn more and sign up here.
There will also be three opportunities to attend a webinar that will be helpful as you prepare your application. While this webinar is not mandatory, it is worthwhile attending. Webinar dates are:
· August 10th, 10 AM - 11:30 AM
· September 7th, 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM
· October 4th, 1:30 PM - 3:00 PM
