Application Guidelines
The application timetable for 2008 awards began with a request for proposals in September 2007. The due date for applications was November 30, 2007. Alabama is waiting on management approval of the applications.
Local units of government and school boards are eligible applicants. Private school applications are also welcomed but must be submitted through the Alabama Private School Association. Private school applicants must ensure that all SRTS Infrastructure improvements are on public property and are accessible to the general public. All applicants must garner public support and demonstrate the capacity to manage a project both managerially and financially. SRTS projects require no local matching funds, and applications may be submitted in either of two ways. Please visit the Alabama SRTS website for more information application submittal.
Each SRTS infrastructure application or non-infrastructure request for assistance must be developed based on concepts that incorporate the 5-E’s of the Safe Routes to School Program.
ALDOT has entered into Interagency Agreements with the Alabama State Department of Education (ASDE) and the Alabama Department of Public Health (ADPH) to administer the non-infrastructure component of this program.
