Congratulations to those schools, communities and non-profit organizations that will receive Safe Routes to School funding from the 2007 application cycle.

Due to the large number of projects and the limited funding available, we were only able to fund a small number of projects.  If you do not see your project on the list, I encourage you to apply again this year.

The schedule for the 2008 SRTS Planning and Application cycle is tentatively set for the following dates:

• May 1: Updated School Travel Plan available on website
• June & July: Statewide training for SRTS – locations TBD 
• September 29: Call for Projects (Applications) Opens
• October 20 (5:00 pm): Deadline to submit STP for Coordinator review & comment
• October 31 (5:00 pm) : Deadline for STP submittal (for all 2008 plans)
• December 1 (5:00 pm): Call for Projects (Applications) Closes

Thank you all for your hard work and patience as we have worked through the inaugural SRTS planning and funding cycle.  It has been amazing to see the plans and ideas that you have had to increase the safety and number of students walking and bicycling in Illinois.
