Application Guidelines
Wisconsin announced awards from its first call for grant applications in July 2007. A second call for grant applications ended in early April 2008. The second round of awards are anticipated to be announced in mid-summer 2008.
Though Wisconsin has one application for both infrastructure and non-infrastructure grants, there is a separate application for planning grants. For more information, please see the Wisconsin SRTS program.
State Advisory Committee
Wisconsin has a SRTS selection committee that reviews applications and makes funding recommendations to the WisDOT Secretary. The committee includes representatives from WisDOT, the Departments of Public Instruction and Health and Family Services, law enforcement, a health organization, a local SRTS program, Safe Kids, a walking advocacy group and a bicycle advocacy group.
State Outreach Programs
Free and low cost SRTS trainings have been offered throughout the state. In 2008 Safe Routes to School sessions will be a part of the Wisconsin Bicycle and Pedestrian conference to be held in mid-August.
Wisconsin has developed a SRTS Toolkit with supplemental CD. Broken down into downloadable sections, the Toolkit includes the materials necessary to help communities at any stage of the process plan a successful SRTS program.
Evaluation Methods
Grantees must submit baseline data and data after the project or activity is implemented. The required data is gathered using the National Center for SRTS student and parent surveys. Grantees are also encouraged to propose more in-depth evaluation as appropriate for their intended project or activity.
