Application Guidelines
WYDOT has awarded all five years of its federal SRTS funding, and we are awaiting either a new bill or a continuing resolution of the current SAFETEA-LU bill. In the meantime, we plan on having a call for infrastructure applications, for which we will create a prioritized list of projects and award them as funding becomes available.
In September 2009, WYDOT held a call for projects that ended December 31, 2009. Infrastructure awards will be announced in 2010 and non-infrastructure projects will be selected year round.
State Advisory Committee
The committee has seven members with one representative from each of the following: SRTS Coordinator, WYDOT, Wyoming Association of Municipalities, Wyoming County Commissioners Association, FHWA, WY Department of Education and Wyoming Association of Sheriffs and Chiefs of Police.
State Outreach Programs
WYDOT currently offers the SRTS National Course, which is provided through the National Center for Safe Routes to School.
Evaluation Methods
WYDOT currently requires grantees to submit evaluations semi-annually. The WYDOT is requiring that the data is gathered using the National Center for Safe Routes to School Student Arrival and Departure Talley Sheet and Parent Survey.
