The Maryland Safe Routes to School grant program are federal-funded sustained efforts by community members and governments to enable and encourage children to safely walk or bicycle to school. Funds can be used for engineering improvements, such as upgrades to crosswalks, traffic signals and signage around schools, as well as for educational and enforcement efforts. Grants are distributed to state, local and regional agencies, as well as non-profit organizations.
