[Calbikereport] Governor signs CA Safe Routes to School-AB57

[CalBike Report]

Special Calbike Report!!!

 

Late last week Governor Schwarzenegger signed CA AB57 Safe Routes to School!

 

Thank you for reaching out to the Governor in support of this bill, which
provides a framework for future funding and protects existing California
SR2S funds. 

 

$52 million is currently available for California State Legislated Safe
Routes to School (SR2S) Funds! 

Application Deadline is November 16, 2007 

 

Please spread the word that funds are available for State Legislated Safe
Routes to School (SR2S) projects. These funds are not to be confused with
Federal Safe Routes to School (SRTS) funds associated with SAFETEA-LU.
Applications must be for capital projects such as sidewalks, pathways, bike
lanes, traffic calming, etc. (with up to 10% available for
non-infrastructure activities such as education, encouragement and
enforcement). Only cities and counties are eligible to compete for these
funds; please spread the word to Public Works Officials.

 

Approximately $52 million is available for two fiscal years worth of
projects (06-07 and 07-08). The deadline for applications is Friday,
November 16, 2007.   Start preparing your grant applications now!
